we're with you, lady. jack has also started, but his parents are more inconsistent and lackluster about it (as is he). had a dilemma the other day when he "peed" in the potty for the first time, but because his willy was over the edge, actually did it all over the rug. do we a) instruct him how to do it properly next time or b) go into wild fanfare and take him for ice cream?
we opted for latter, though with no visible advances since. clearly we have failed and he will transition to adult diapers at the age of seven or so.
you know the part where the books say that the child will reach a stage when they like to be "clean"? what do you do when they lounge happily all day with a log squished betwixt those cheeks?
Mummy (sniffing) "have you done a poo-poo jack? I think you haaaave!!!"
Jack, "NOOOO! No poo-poo! No diaper changed! Watch Heffalump Movie!!! Now!"
I'm a geeky Gen-X writer and Parental Unit from Baltimore. I believe in early afternoon cocktails, the greatness of Jon Stewart, and that being a smartass is a virtue. More about me...
