Linky On Using The "Big Boy Potty"...

For 2012, I'm not buying any more pull-ups!  Link has been peeing standing up since Christmas break, and no longer wants to use his potty.  We also have the toddler potty seat that goes over the regular toilet, he also does not want to use that.

He says, "I'm a big boy and big boys use big things!"

I know, right?!

Then this weekend when getting ready to make a #2, he squealed, "My bambam doesn't like this big boy potty because it makes my bambam cold!"

When I asked him, "Well, Link now that you're using the big boy potty, it will be cold most of the time, what are you going to do?"

With a huge kool-aid smile, he said, "Don't worry about mom, I will just warm my bambam!"

And with that he stood up and proceeded to rub his little butt for about a minute, proudly proclaimed, "It's warm now, so I can go ahead and finish what I started!"

You can't make these things up!!

Potty Training

Ok, we're on Day 4 of potty training with Linky. He got a ton of training pants and underpants from Santa Kauuus.

Well, Day 1, we only had 1 pee pee incident that was great.

Day 2 was Christmas day, and he stayed dry allllllllllllll day!!! For some reason he does way better outside of the house than he does at home.

Day 3, yesterday, only 2 incidents but he woke up out of his sleep to "pee pee potty" - Yay, in my book that's huge!!

Now we get to Day 4, today...not so good. What I've been doing up to this point is pretty much just asking him every hour or so if he has to use the potty. Most times it's "yeah, Linky, pee pee potty, mommy". Every so often, he'll walk up to Maddy and take her hand, "Maddy take Linky a-potty". After every successful potty, he picks his stickers for his potty chart. Great!!

Today went something like this four times:

Me: Linky, do you need to go potty?

Linky: Shorry, mommy. Did it 'ready.

Me: You pee pee'd your underpants?

Linky: Yeah, shorry mommy

Me: Where are you supposed to peepee?

Linky: In the potty, shorry mommy.

We call this the underpants grave yard! Though I must say they are very absorbent, the training pants get wet, but his pants haven't.

And a curious thing happened on the way to potty. I'm giggling before I even start typing. Linky has learned to say "excuse me" after burps and "pohpz" (Carribean way of saying fart). Anyway, of late, since he's potty training, if he happens to pohpz while on the potty, he will break his little neck to see what's in the bowl. I tried several attempts to make him understand the difference between pohpz and a BM. Finally I came up with "a pohpz is your bambam's way of telling you the doodoo is coming". (Wait for it....)

Now anytime he's on the potty and happens to lay a baby fart, we hear, "LINKY'S BAMBAM'S READY!! THE DOODOO'S SHUMMING!!!"

Nasty but too funny not to share!!!

What's the latest thing your little or not-so little one did to make you laugh out loud?
