crappy news...

A little play on words. It's actually big news around the Furr house...

Warning: if potty talk offends you, please don't read any further...

Izak is completing his own potty training regimine! It's pretty funny...we were going to wait to begin training until after the new baby arrived. But several weeks ago, he initiated it by saying "potty" and then hopping up onto the toilet to pee. He has repeated that several times. So he has pee on the potty down pat.

So we let him pee on the potty whenever he wants to, but didn't push it because we aren't ready to be consistent and we can't stop diapers until he learns to "go yucky" on the potty.

Well, this morning, he made it clear that he wanted to go pee on the potty. He did several times. So Heidi was adventurous enough to let him amble around the house with no diaper, realizing that when yucky came, we would need to clean the floors a few times.

Before leaving, I talked with him about yucky and that if he wanted, he could do yucky in the potty, just like pee. Not sure if he got it or not, I left Heidi to her mothering devices!

While playing on the couch, he stopped, hopped down, ran into the bathroom, hiked up on the potty, and did yucky...all by himself!! What a kid! He got it!

Could this be the end of diapers for Z-Dog? The saga continues...

It's funny how things change when you parent. Pooping in the potty has never been all that exciting to me before. Sure, it was a good place to get some reading done, but never really exciting. But now...now potty is very exciting!!

Peace and Potty,
