Plan B

TC has started to show an awareness of his own bodily functions lately. For example, every time he passes gas he laughs out loud and announces "I tooted!" If we wait too long after a bath to strap another diaper on him we will inevitably find him taking aim at whatever is closest. He stops what he is doing to pay special attention to his #2 business and then informs us that "I not have poopoo". Yeah right mister, tell it to the tourists...never mind, they can smell it too. According to the "experts", these are all signs of readiness for potty training. Okay, I guess I've been in denial for long enough, we probably need to get this show on the road. Undies? Check! A week of unscheduled days? Check! Potty seat? Check! Plenty of patience? Uh...yeah...I think so. Here we go...day one...sit on the potty first thing in the morning...score! Set the timer for 2 hours...first mistake. 20 minutes later...another pair of undies...reset the timer...second mistake. Flush out undies and hose them down in the yard. Put timer away...strap on first diaper...enjoy the rest of our day. You know what...life is too short...and this can wait...new plan...wait until he can change his own diaper.
