Funny story

Today was possibly the wierdest day ever. My son, who i have been trying to potty train, decided suddenly that he doesnt like pull-ups so much. So, I laid him down for a nap; just like any other day. Shortly after I went to lay him down, I heard him playing so I sent my oldest daughter to check on him… I was in the middle of working on an article… when I hear her calling me. I set everything down and go to his room. I don’t know if I was more shocked or stupified by the site I saw.

There he was stark naked playing with his poop. He had managed to successfully smear it from one end of his room to the other. He was taking his cars and trying to make them ride through a “hill” of nothing more than poop. Okay, so we all hear poop stories of young kids, he’s 2, and so I’m sure just another kid poop story to you; but what’s really funny here is that he’s got a “Cars” rug (after Cars the movie) and he was making his cars race down the track full of “mud”
(his poop) and sitting there going, “Vroom Vroom” the whole time.

After I had got the mess finally cleaned up; he even had it up in the windowcill with poopy cars sitting there, to my surprise, yet again, he wasnt finished. Not even thirty minutes later, I find him back in his room stark naked again, peeing on the carpet.

I didn’t know if I wanted to cry or laugh! Everyone I know has told me that boys are harder to potty train, and after two girls, I am beginning to believe this. I only hope that tomorrow goes better.

Thanks for listening to my story, now I’m going to investigate ways to break my child from doing such filthy things and potty train successfully; any tips?

  1. Apart from suggesting you buy a power washer I am all out!

    Photographing for potential blackmail during teen age years may also be prudent.

    We found it easier to teach our son to pee in the toilet first. Pooping took a wee while longer (and is still a work in progress!). Rewards for pooping in the toilet worked eventually.

    Nasty – heres hoping he shakes that habit soon!
