Rock Out With Your Keyboard Out
Every morning early afternoon, I bathe Troy because he is a heavy wetter and usually pees out of his diaper. I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact he is almost 3 and probably shouldn’t be in diapers, but he has zero interest in the potty. I am not about forcing anything on anyone, as I really don’t want him to grow up with a complex. You know, like he will hate the toilet and have nightmares about his mean, devil mother that made him sit on his potty ring in exchange for gummy snacks and suckers and he will only be able to pee outside off the porch or on dumpsters. I had a dream the other night that Troy was a grown man and like three inches taller than me, but I packed diapers in his backpack along with a laptop before he drove away.
I’m not sure if that is better than peeing on dumpsters or worse. Probably a tie.
After he has a fresh diaper, he’s ready to jam. He does this every single time he takes a bath.
Because playing your sister’s pink keyboard just sounds better while wearing your dad’s motorcycle helmet.
Now if I could just get Troy to do this while riding a unicycle, I might be onto something.
I spoke to Troy’s doctor today and his white blood count is up, but barely. He is cleared to travel, more on that next week, and he will have it re-tested at the end of next month. Keep your fingers crossed.

Yeah for the doctor news. Boo Boo was not fully "daytime" potty trained until she was 3 years and about 4 or 5 months. She still has to wear pullups to bed because she JUST DOES NOT WAKE UP. Sleeps like a rock. I will worry about it as we get to her fifth birthday.

That's hysterical! Love it how they do such individual and unique things. =)

Troy is my hero!

Baby T just slays me! I'm so glad he's feeling better!
My mom trained me by sitting me on the pot and pouring warm water over my hand. I learned this just last year…after I told her idly that I found it impossible to put my hands in running water (like to do dishes) without having a nearly uncontrollable urge to pee.

One cookie for pee pee in the potty, two for poopy. Offered, of course. Not forced.
Now that you have the advice you didn't ask for-
-This picture is like, frame and torture kid for years hilarious. Office poster hilarious. You should carry this around in your wallet and show others. I'm serious.

Happy Belated BDay Zak! Hope you had a good one despite the fact that Jeff spent it driving the porcelain bus.
More advice you did not ask for:
My kiddoos toilet trained at 18 months. My secret? RARELY CLOSE THE BATHROOM DOOR. We have one bathroom in the apartment and so it was not uncommon for the sound of someone peeing to be sort of constant–like a cheap version of a zen fountain. Course, now it gets embarrassing when we have guests and the Spawn still don't close the door, but we comfort ourselves with the fact that the money we saved on diapers can go to therapy.

Seriously just spit water when I read "peeing on dumpsters." So when my new pink netbook breaks, am coming after you (typed nicely).

PS boys are later, mine was three-ish too. Not too worry.

I wish you all the best in your potty training endeavors. So far I've had one REALLY difficult one and one easy one. We'll see how the third child goes…
Love the way Troy rocks out!
p.s. fingers crossed…

This is just absolutely hilarious. Pretty much made my day.

Hoping for the best for the Troymeister. I'm still on an early 90's kick.
Mine is totally disinterested in the potty too. Seriously though, diapers give you a lot more freedom, you don't have to be within a 10 foot radius of a toilet at all times. So roll with that (I do).

i love him.
i wanted so badly to get a picture of clay playing his ukulele for today's theme, but couldn't.
fingers crossed for sure.

YAY cloth diapers!!! Troy is probably all damn, mom, why would I potty train and have to give up these cutie-patootie dipes??

That is ONE COOL rockin' little dude! I love the getup

Pink keyboard and a helmet? You have the beginnings of a kick ass 80s retrospective band on your hands. Get Zoe to play bass while wearing weird sunglasses, and you're on your way!

*fingers crossed for troy*
This picture is so stinking cute – I like to think he's keying "Highway to the Danger Zone" in this picture.

TROY IS A GENIUS. You obviously can't play good pink keyboard music if you're dirty SANS helmet. Every good artist knows that.
