Organics of child rearing
In the organics of child rearing …………. well not really sure what to say after that I just wanted to lead with the line because it makes me feel all like smart and stuff. Like ya know?
But I say that because last season on Tori & Dean she (the she being Tori of course, not her pussy lazy like husband Dean) did some type of partnership with Pull-Ups and in her interview she said that “potty training was organic” to her right now because she was training Liam.
I liked that phrase when she said it and I’ve often repeated it in my head. Why? Because I liked the context of the word “organic” (look don’t judge me ok? I’m just cool, I mean um, weird like that)
Anyway my entire point of this long sermon on the word organic is to say…. this.
Phoenix is now {officially} (the {} symbols meaning fingers crossed) potty trained. See how I ended up here?
Anyway. Last Tuesday we we’re sitting down having dinner and he goes into the bathroom and drags out his potty and says “Mommy. Pee” so I get up and go over to him and sure enough there is his potty and I’m like “Woah Lassie what are you trying to tell me boy?” so I pull his pants down, plop him on the pot and go back to eating dinner. Not 3 minutes later do I hear him say “Yay! Mommy! I pee!” -See how “organic” fits this story now?
Words could not even begin to express the shear shock and enthusiam I was feeling! So I gave him the biggest hug I could and started shouting “I’m so proud of you!!!” and him in all his naked tiny butt glory chokes me around my neck and screams “I so proud of YOU!”. Like we did it. A real team him and I. Me and him against the poop and pampers. Look out poop its the infamous Mommy & Fin-Fin Team here to save the day!
And for whatever reason whenever you ask him where he goes potty he always answers with an enthusiastic “Bop-Bop’s office!”
And from then on we have been in potty training heaven!
Saturday I invested in this little gem and promptly begin to set my son up for a life of charges on “indecent exposure”
We’ve been doing it now for a week and have had maybe one accident a day. Most of the day he goes over and sits down by himself and then jumps up saying “Ah! I so proud of you!” which is our cue to repeat the same to him.
And surprisingly this is much easier then the last time we tried this. But like I said earlier…organic parenting right?
Next step is to rid us of these little monsters.
