Potty? Or mower?

The Boy has a potty.

I think he was more excited about the potty than he was about any of his Christmas presents. Some of that might be the development that's happened in the last six months, but seriously, The Boy was super excited about the potty.

"I pee. I pee. Try potty."

So we stripped him down and let him run around nakie. He climbed on the potty and off the potty, on and off, on and off. He never managed to go, despite his chants of "I potty. I potty. I potty," however, I was pleased with his enthusiasm.

But then we got The Boy dressed and put the potty away. The Boy found it, lifted the lid and started pushing it around the room.

"I mo-wing," he said. "Mo-wing."

I think it's a good thing I don't have my hopes up for getting The Boy potty trained before Baby2 arrives.

Did you read Amanda's post last week (kickyboots) about getting her oldest to use the toilet? Granted, she's a bit older...maybe if you locked him in the bathroom he'd go? ;) I kind of get it but it seems so crazy and a bit cruel.

I did see that post at Kickyboots. If The Boy isn't potty-trained in two years or so, yeah, I can see where that might be necessary ...

I saw a potty at Target that looks like a soccer ball. I figured that would just set the kid up for confusion. Nice to know there are lots of multi-purpose potties around!
