How to Use the Potty:
Hmmm, do I know how to use the potty?
Maybe you do this first?
Yes! That's it! Then you sit in it. I've got it. Piece of cake.
So, let's see ... what other updates are there. Oh yes, many:
- Positive Reinforcement Works. Mama has been learning so much lately ... most of it is from Dad, but some of it is from parenting books and just using common sense. I have watched in awe the last few days as The Goose responds to praise and belief in his abilities. He will practically do anything you ask him if you phrase it just right. Wow. And there are other times when things don't go so smoothly and someone is stomping around throwing banana peels. And it's never The Dad.
- He can say lots of new things: duck, quack, light, tick-tock, dog, and hissssssss (like a snake -- a PICTURE of a snake).
- If he steps in dog poop, don't worry, he'll find a mud puddle to wash it off in. We were at the park today and he stepped in dog poop and it got all over his shoes and my pants and I seriously thought of just stripping us both down, throwing the clothes in the trash, and driving home naked. But thank the Good Lord for rain because it creates the most inviting of mud puddles. Mud puddles so large and unavoidable that everyone within a 10 foot radius gets soaked when you throw a large piece of broken-off blacktop right into the center of it.
And one last laugh:
