The Great Potty Adventure

Yesterday marks the first day of the The Great Potty Adventure. Yes, the sitter decided she was going to put Milo and her boy (only 2 months older) in big boy undies and just go for it. And go they did....in their clothes. Oh, they'll sit on the potty -- for about 3 seconds, then say "Done!"

Um....well, this has been sitting in my "Edit" folder for a couple of weeks. The Great Potty Adventure lasted exactly 4 days. For Milo, at least (the sitter's boy is going great guns - no pun intended). Young Son decided that pottying in the big boy potty was just not for him. He responded with "No, thank you" to every request having to do with pottying -- including changing his PullUp. So we've backed off for now and will try it again in a few weeks. Or months. Or years.

Oh! And I forgot to add the best part of the whole potty training experience. By 10am on the Saturday we were still training, Aaron had cleaned a random dead cat off our front lawn, I had cleaned pee off the floor and Milo (after he'd *just* gotten off the potty and done nothing), then Aaron got to pick Milo's poo up off the floor. Good times. And pretty much the nail in the coffin.
