Boys. And girls. What is it about potty words that inspires such hysteria and obnoxious behavior in kids? The LG is all over the word "poop". As a result, so is the TP. Unfortunately for the LG, it isn't very funny when a 4 year old says it and he is directed to the bathroom where that word is most appoopriate. When the TP says it, however, we tend to snicker to ourselves, and the hysteria is passed on to the adults. This went on for an hour and a half yesterday in the car while we traversed the Salt Lake Valley (and even into Utah County - eyeroll) so I could finally convince the BK that when it comes time to buy we are sticking close to SLC. Anyway, by the time we got home, I felt like washing my own ears out. And, I think that will be the last time Grandma is willing to sit in our car for any length of time.
On other potty notes, the other day we went to Wheeler Farm with some friends. While feeding the ducks, the LG took off running (shocking, I know). I found him relieving himself in the "decorative/display" outhouse. As I shielded others from looking in, I was EXTREMELY relieved myself that it was only #1 since there was a nice mesh cover - which might have deterred other kids from sitting down at all - and at the least would have turned into quite a spectacle.
Thankfully, on this subject, and with much thanks (Grandma) to some lovely training pants that arrived in the mail last week, the TP is well on her way to using the potty. I find myself wishing on ocassion, however, that when she says she needs to pee, that I could just ask her to go in her diaper.
Poop.
See, it just isn't that funny.

I'm glad to hear I am not the only mom who is sick of hearing about that word! We use the same consequence (he can say it in the bathroom). Hope you find something great in Salt Lake.
It gets better. Like when your kids get tired of saying just boring old potty words and have to up the gross ante. A new phrase was born over the weekend, combining two delicate subjects. 'Naked-poop' is the new insult being hurdled around my house. Lovely, huh?
I'll have to admit, I was pretty pooped after our car ride on Saturday!
I get tired of it too, but he's sat on the time out chair enough now that he knows better, but it still slips out now and then, and I tend to snicker sometimes too. Then I remind myself I'm supposed to be the parent. Sometimes it sucks being the parent, and I just want to laugh at all the crazy stuff he says. Hey, at least you know it's normal behavior, right? I take comfort in that.
As for the outhouse, that is way too funny, and made me laugh.
Lol! I know it's over used but I really am laughing out loud. It doesn't get much better than that. I know three small children is a heavy load but enjoy it while you can. Before you know it they will be using potty talk on the other side of the spectrum...among other things :)
