Kellen was 3 in March. With work and 3 other boys it was hard for me to focus on Kellen's potty training. To start, I must confess that it one of the things I dread most about being a mom. I think we have Grady to blame for that. He was sooooooooo difficult to house break :) Normally, a compliant, easy going, rule follower, Grady was a nightmare when it came to this one issue. Since then, I have not enjoyed the process, even though Connor was a dream. (Funny how the negative stays with us so much more than the positive).
OK, back to Kellen. Now that it is summer and I am not teaching, Kellen is in underwear and we are on the hourly walk to the bathroom where M&M's await and the pee pee dance abounds. He is doing OK. Today has been a good day. He has gone a couple times without me telling him to, so I will call it a sucess. The #2 thing is far from successful. "Mom it just won't come out if I am sitting on the toilet." Yes, it is going to be tough to conquer that hurdle. I know many of you can relate.
Since we are talking so much peepee around here lately, Kellen is talking about his penis a lot. Here are two recent stories.
#1- I was helping Kel into his PJ's, and on his peepee I see a centimeter size, arrow sticker pointing right back toward him. He says it is because he wants his penis to remember who it belongs to. :)
#2- Some cousins were visiting from Georgia, one a little girl. The kids had been playing, eating, running and having a good time. When Anna announced that she was running in to go to the bathroom Kellen said, "I bet she wishes she had one of these (pointing to his pride and joy area) then she wouldn't have to run into the house to pee." I just laughed.
So, I am thankful that potty training does bring about moments of comic relief, because if it didn't I might go crazy!
