A potty training nightmare!


We have begun the potty training process with Robert this week. Some days are better than others. He still doesn't understand that he needs to tell us when he needs to go, but we sit him on the potty many times during the day and most of the time he tinkles.


To make the process easier, I often let Robert run around without a diaper. It is a good reminder for me to get him on the potty often. Well, this morning, I left Bobby in charge while I went upstairs to do some chores. I came back downstairs about 15 minutes later and Robert greeted me by saying "poo poo mamma". There was poop painted on the family room carpet, and Robert had run his trucks through it over and over as if it were mud... really smelly mud, I guess.

Now, Bobby was sitting in the kitchen reviewing an online ad for the new Apple iPhone.. .if you know Bobby, you know he was completely tuned out to anything else around him. All the while, Robert was just 20 feet away 'silently'(so says bobby) playing in his own feces.
It is well known that when Robert is quiet, he is certainly up to no good.

I know this is not suppose to be funny but I couldn't help relating and laughing when I saw the picture! Cooper has done the "drop & drag" trick before on my carpet! I'm sure it will get better, just keep Bobby off of naked-time-duty!

huh! that is awful! bobby told me that he wasn't aloud to get the iphone because it cost too much or something, but now i guess i know the real reason! maybe if he had been paying more attention to his son, instead of the iphone, he'd be able to get it.
