This picture cracks me up. Monkeyrotica took it while we were having Boston Cream pie for his birthday and dubbed it the Boston Cream Pieta.
Anyway, yesterday I was so excited about my new phone (which I'm already thinking I'll pass on to Todd when the new version with a video camera comes out) that I forgot to mention that Liam has started to show interest in the potty.
I have to say, I'm pretty ambivalent about starting the whole training thing over again. With Thea, we struggled for a year, escalating rewards constantly until we were begging her, "Poop in the potty for a pony!" Then at some point she was ready and, poof, she was trained without a single accident.
I'm toying with the idea of ignoring Liam's interest until he insists on using the potty, until he says, "Seriously, Mom, I'm totally ready, and this book I'm reading says it's high time we ditch the diapers."

Excellent picture, and a great captioning of the episode forevermore.
Ack, we're already having potty wars here (and Gab's only 21-months). AS ALWAYS, E's parents are insisting she should be trained already and she's behind blah blah blah. So, now E and I war over that, too. I'm of the camp 'she's ready when she's ready'. Why tramautize her?
Yummm, boston creme pie. Will you feed me, too, if I sit in your lap?
It's not "potty training." It's "potty learning." Also, it isn't "poop" but "magic butt goblins," not to be confused with Idaho Bathroom Goblin Larry Craig.
And the next time you feed Liam some pie, can you make it look like Guernica?
We reenact Guernica every night at dinner.
(Hee, "magic butt goblins"!)
When Bug was two, I asked our pediatrician (and friend) when I should worry if she wasn't potty trained. She said, "hmmm. If she's in diapers and going to kindergarten, then we'll worry." I stopped worrying so much after that.
Jack Jack wants to use the potty too, but not all the time. I am putting him off until christmas break. What a fun thing to do on a christmas holiday.
i'm all for ignoring it. we learned from Thea that when they are ready, they will let you know. We can still talk about it with him once in a while though.
kelly, I LOVE your Liam voice.
