If I wanted any poop outta you ...

Boy's pretty well trained ... if you doubt my veracity, ask yourself if I would thusly tempt ... whomever it is you tempt by declaring your child's feat only to have it inexplicably disappear from his/her repertoire.

He's even making it through most nights without incident - even to the point of getting out of bed a few times to go potty.

Good thing, they're not making Thomas trains at sufficient pace to supply the reward system we were using.

Here's my poop story for this week ...

Before bath time, he's started jumping on the potty and forcing something out so that he doesn't have to get out mid-bath. Tonight, he did his business, got into the tub, then immediately proclaimed he had to get out and go potty again. Going twice in a row usually means serious business. (For the "sitting" crowd - guys don't have the ability to stop part-way through ... then continue later when it's more convenient.) Anyways, he gets back on the potty and after some serious effort - triumph. After round two - he gets back in the water and after another 10 seconds, decides he's not done. This time, takes more patience and he embellishes his coaxing technique by putting both hands on his head and pressing ... but once again, success. He gets back in the water and decides he wants to give it another go. Again, shows good patience, but eventually tries the squeezing technique - this time to no avail. He gives up and bath concludes with no further incident. But now we'll have to see if it's a thing.

That's my story for this week.

My story for last week was ... I've spent about 90 minutes so far this Spring picking up rabbit cr*p from our back-yard. Apparently, all the people complaining about the rabbits feeding on their garden and flowers and all the home remedies they've attempted, have only succeeded in driving the city's rabbit population into my yard post meal.
