Okay I love a good poo story and I've got 2 so I have to blog about it. :) Hopefully I'll redeem myself from my dryspell.
We've been trying to potty train Kasper for probably 9 months now and it's been ups and downs. He got the peeing thing down about a month ago, and even went to underwear at school and home for the past 2 weeks. He still wears a diaper going out and about ...just in case.
Poo Story #1 - The BIG Poo!
Well on Sunday night Kasper runs to me and says he has to poo, so I pull out his little potty and sit him down. After Mmming a bit he ends up with a BIG soft served cone shape of poo about the size of a pomelo. It was pretty big. I did the whole cheering bit, cleaned his bum and sent him on his way!
Well I apparently didn't let him sit long enough because 10 seconds later he returns looking stunned, bow-legged with his hands cradling his bum saying "Mama! Oh no! Poo poo!" I look inside and find a baseball sized poo sitting in his underwear! After some "Oh no's!" and laughing and "you need to tell me before you poo" I put him in the bath tub and then...
"Mama! Oh no! More poo poo!" he starts pooing 2 golf sized bits in the bath tub! I totally lost it there :D but knew I had to clean the poor guy up. Sigh...
But Kasper's poo story does not end there...No!....
Poo Story #2 - Run for it!
Today we took a stroll out after dinner cause Taipei finally warmed up...a little. I had to take Mayah to the doctor so our helper J took Kasper to the park to play. She offered him 5 slides down the slide before walking back home. He did one slide and proceeded to say "Go home!" J then said "But you can do 5 slides! You don't want to play?" Kasper says "No! Go home! Go home!"
And so they walk home. Apparently much faster than when we walked to the park.
Once they're home, Kasper yells "Ah yee! Poo poo! Poo poo!" She tells him to wait, but he takes off his shoes, runs to the bathroom, pulls out his potty (which had been converted to a step stool), converts it to a potty, sits down and poos! By the time J is in the bathroom he is done! 1st time ever man! Amazing!
Needless to say he got lots of praises and treats tonight! :D
