Potty Breakthrough

For those of you who get a little uncomfortable with potty stories (like my dad) stop reading here and try your best to ignore the pictures below- ha, ha made ya look! For those of you who know and understand the ups and down of potty training and want to hear some happy news keep reading. Some day in the future Ben is going to be really annoyed at me for making this post, but I just have to share the happy news. Ben pooped on the potty! So far he has done it twice. Both times he did it about an hour after we put him down to bed. I think that the only reason why he did it is because he wanted an excuse to get out of bed. He is not a child who goes to bed easily. He will think of every excuse in the book to stay up. I don't care though, if it means that he is going to poop in the potty instead of his diaper that is okay with me. It means that we are on our way to having another child become diaper free! Now we just have to work on him actually doing it during the day.

Funny Things Kids Say

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
