The dude who laid the golden... poop



I'm toilet training little dude. It's hilarious, tiring and exasperating all at once. I think the hardest part is getting him to do the big thing in his potty. I feel like the owner of "The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg". But it's a tough job getting that egg laid in the right place.

To get him to do the right thing, I let him sit in his potty and play with his "Leaptop". I give him magazines. I give him his favourite toy car. I tell him I'll be giving him ice cream. Stickers. I sing songs. Anything to coax the poop out while he's in his potty.  But... nature takes its own course.

You know, I wait in anticipation every morning for him to finish his breakfast, so that I can shoo him to his potty. Getting poop inside the potty feels something like striking lottery. I go like "YES! GREAT JOB! LET'S GET YOU SOME ICE CREAM!". And I smile from ear to ear.

What's your poop story?
