potty training laughs
We've been potty training Jonah over the last week and he's actually doing a lot better than we anticipated. He has been pooping on the potty every day, and doing quite well with his pees too - letting us know that he needs to go, and then doing it. Only a few minor accidents. The prize for a pee and clean underwear is one piece of fruit loop cereal (AKA candy loop). The prize for a poop and clean underwear is TEN fruit loops!Yesterday he stood up to reveal a rather lovely turd, dare I admit it. It reminded me of a chocolate soft serve ice-cream (in appearance only), although a little shorter and wider... and it had none of those fancy ripples like in the picture I've posted. When he saw it, he exclaimed (in a high squeaky voice due to his cold), "I MADE A CAKE POOP!"
Then he went upstairs to announce it to everyone and to have them come down for a look! BOYS!! Today he called his poop "a cocktail poop!"... I'm guessing because he had eaten fruit cocktail in the previous hour.
If Jonah is well enough to go to daycare tomorrow, he wants to go in underwear. I took him there in diapers on Friday and his teachers said they have never seen him pee on the toilet ever! Odd! Although sounds strangely familiar, doesn't it Sue? We'll see what happens and I'll keep you posted.
Other cute/funny things Jonah has said recently...
Said to Aunt Tracy the day after she mentioned misplacing her memory stick...
Did you find your imagination stick?
Said a couple of hours after Daddy left town for California this morning...
We need a LONG rope, to catch Daddy's plane!
OK, yeah, that one's kinda sad too. We miss you babe!

Yes, it sounds very familiar! Although Darcy has had a good run over the past few days. We'll see how today goes.
She likes to hop off the toilet to see if she made her poop into a "hot dog". As if hot dogs weren't disgusting enough without that imagery associated with it!
Oh well, whatever helps them get trained!
Good job, Jonah!

Ugh. We are starting this as well. I need to find something that will really motivate him though.
Jonah is a funny kiddo! :)

It's funny (and often gross, as has been mentioned) kids all seem to associate something with their potty "deposits".
For Laura, it was "poo poo moons" (crescent moon shape to her) and "pee pee apple juice".
I'm waiting to see what Lucas comes up with, when the time comes. I'm not looking forward to doing it all over again, but it's part of life as a parent! I think we have at least 6 months to a year before we start thinking about it, since he's just coming up to 2.
Good luck on your adventures!

this fecal analyzation reminds me of a line from the movie "Running With Scissors" in which insane "psychologist", Dr. Finch (total Freudian) has his morning dump, runs in his skivvies to all the rooms in which his equally crazy fam members dwell -- yelling for them to have a look at something. . The 'something' was the toilet bowl in which sat his upward-turned, poking out of the water BM "My turd is a direct sign from the Holy Father" *the family was facing possible home seizure due to tax matters and this poo reassured the good 'doctor' that things were looking up* Sorry, this convo totally reminded me of this scene!!!! I don't think i'll look at soft serve ice cream in quite the same way, especially chocolate soft serve!!!!!! blech.
