Potty Talk

Guys... Seriously...

Potty Training + Me = NO!!!

Trying to teach him how to wipe.
Key Word = Trying

I am SOOO not ready for this. Like, not even a little bit! However, we bought a potty seat for Taysom so that he will not be afraid of the potty when the time comes. We let him sit on the potty before or after his bath sometimes. He thinks it is so cool! His favorite part is flushing. It is also SO funny when we hand him toilet paper and tell him to "wipe". He will wipe his NOSE, then put the paper in the potty. Too funny!

A week or two ago, Taysom said potty and climbed out of the bath. I thought he was just bored and wanted to play on the potty, but I didn't want to fight with him, so I let him sit on the potty. Then he peed!!! I think it was a coincidence. He was really confused at first but then got very excited and happy. I thought it was kinda funny, but didn't think much of it.

Yesterday, we were all playing in Taysom's room, and out of nowhere, he stops playing, grabs his diaper, looks straight at me, and says "potty!" I was just going to ignore it, but he kept saying it and even tried taking his shorts off, then ran into the bathroom, so I indulged his desire and let him sit on the potty. As soon as I put him there, he went pee! I couldn't believe it. He had do go potty, actually communicated that to me, and waited until he was on the toilet to go! GOOD JOB, BUDDY! 

Pretending to throw up in the potty...
Like Mommy.

While I am in no way ready to start potty training, I really don't think he is either. I am okay with occasionally escorting him to the potty. However, I am NOT ready to rush to the nearest toilet, or deal with soaking wet undies and department store accidents. I am NOT ready for the regression that is sure to come in less than 5 months when his baby sister arrives. I am not ready. I am not ready. I AM SOOOO... NOT... READY!!!

I am oddly learning to tolerate and even be totally okay with expensive diapers, endless wipes, and nasty diaper changes. They are really okay. I think I can tolerate it for a little while longer.

Stay little for a little bit longer my sweet boy!

On another note, with me being so sick this pregnancy, Taysom has spent many days rummaging through the bathroom drawers while I throw up. Sometimes he would come up behind me and pat my back, but the funniest thing ever was when he would bend over the toilet next to me, stick out his tongue, and say "BLEH!" It's even funnier that he still does it. Such a goof!!!
