Urinal Lessons

Oh yes, you read correctly.

Bob took the boys to the library so that I could get some much needed down time. Aid returned triumphantly telling of his first time use of the urinal! YAY! I jumped up and down in excitement with him, not foreseeing the next funny little twist this potty training journey would take.

We had conquered the fear of the big potty and were using it much to my delight. This all changed after Aid found a book he was once given about a little boy learning to use the potty. Since the little boy in the book only uses the "baby" potty that is once again all Aid will use. But a baby potty is better then no potty, so I'll take it. (I have hidden this book.) He still takes the initiative to go on his own when he has to go or can be easily bribed into going if he's waiting too long for my comfort level.

So I thought nothing of it when I saw him jump up and run the potty. He dropped his drawers and...you guessed it....let er go. I immediately began yelling, "Aid!! Sit down!!!" Aid screamed in excitement back at me, "mama! Look! I'm doing it!!!"

He finished before I got there. I told him we don't go potty like that with the baby potty and he needed to sit down. "But mama...I can't sit on the potty when there is pee on it!" Yes, but...

Oh good grief. Fairly sure it is time to bust out the Cheerios and see if we can curb this new talent!
