Success

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exltation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...this is to have succeeded." _Ralph Waldo Emerson_

Potty Talk

Okay this is too funny and embarrassing NOT to post....so here it goes. This morning while Isaiah and i were playing on the floor, he heard his mommy pass a little gas. Isaiah, very astutely pointed at that region of my body and declared, 'poop.' I must have bust a gut at that point laughing.
Since I started with the potty talk we have officially pulled out the 'little' potty. It sits right next to the 'big' potty in the bathroom. Isaiah has started identifying with some regularity when he goes...but it's after he goes. Oh well, we can get started. So we practice sitting on it, etc. I have also started having him help me to put his poop in the toilet. That way he sees it, and sees where it's supposed to go. He finds this very fascinating, I figure it's a start.

Hi Danielle! I love your blog! It is so funny and thought provoking. I wanted to comment because Calli does this too. She says "Poop" when she is or has pooped and she has started saying "toot" whenever she (or anyone else) passes gas. Having a toddler is humbling (and hilarious).
