Ok, sorry for this graphic post but you know if you can't share the craziness of life with small children with your friends and family who can you share it with?
Jack just came out of bed, diaper in disarray under his pajama bottoms, and carrying the third car to Eric's toy train. He dumps out some liquid from it onto the floor. I'm still not up to full speed post surgery so I'm thinking, "where'd he get the water?" Then I smell it, um no, not water, pee. Lovely. So our son who up to this point has refused to do anything with the potty but shove handfulls of toilet paper down and then flush repeatedly has now taken to peeing in other containers. We're most likely in for more of this behaviour as before we could sternly say, "NO, that's naughty, we only go pee in the potty!", we both ended up laughing. Then he thought it was hystericaly funny and was laughing as well. What can you do when faced with a 2 year old who thinks the world is his potty? It's either laugh or start weeping. It's at times like these I wish I were Catholic and could start saying alms or prayers to the saint in charge of small children... or mother's sanity. They might keep me from hyperventilating in the days/weeks/months ahead.

I've heard it's so much more difficult to potty train boys, which seems counterintuitive, given how much boys like bodily functions. Just be glad it was only pee! :)
ha ha the joys of little boys. When we moved into this house greg would go down stairs with his little friends and pee in the sump pump pit. Once he was caught it hs never happened again..........Good Luck
Potty training boys!! I've done it twice now. But one time we were out and their was no washroom nearby so they got to go pee in the bushes....Now they always want to pee in the bushes!! Good Luck and PS keeping a container of lysol wipes in the bathroom during potty training (and after) they always come in really handy!
My friend's little guy used to poop in the neighbours' flower pots, in full view of the whole 'hood. She used the ol' "That's not where BIG boys go" line and it eventually worked. Best of luck.
