Like Man Like Man

One of the best parts of potty training a boy is the instant need to read and poop. How at such a young age he knows that this is just what men do is beyond me, but Antonio is living up to his gender.

This was the week, Labor Day, that we made the leap and said no more diapers and within a few days Antonio was potty trained with no accidents for over a week. It was rather exciting, for us any way. And thanks to Kel, we attached it like pros. We pulled the potty just outside the bathroom door which seemed to make all the difference, since it was always in sight.

Just a couple days in, I said to him while in the kitchen, "You need to go pee in the toilet then we will have a snack" when I turned around he was taking his clothes off and doing the deed. Small proud moments for a mom to watch her kid pee on the wall.

Of course, like I said, the bigger business requires some material...

He quickly adapted to the regular toilet and now requires at least three books to do his business, and when the time is right, you can catch him reading loudly to himself - as always.

What a big boy we have!
