Pookie has pretty much completely mastered the peeing in the right spot both in the house, outside of the house, and in an absolutely amazing development, overnight. This morning, I had to wake up at 4:40am to go to work. While I was peeing, Pookie walked into the bathroom half covering his eyes. When I was done, he peed. Then I walked him back to bed where he fell back asleep for a while.
He’s got the pee all figured out.
The poop is a bit different of a story. He tries. We give him one half of a “fun size” Kit Kat when any amount of poop lands in the toilet. And he is desperate to make sure he gets those Kit Kats.
Unfortunately, he often gets stuck in the awkward position of having a little, teeny, tiny poopy that is 4/5th of the way out of his butt. And stuck in that position. No amount of bouncing up and down on the seat shakes it free. No amount of squeezing his own belly while grunting breaks it free. No amount of bending over and looking to see if it is still there inspires it to drop.
So, we are starting to give him the Kit Kat when he gets that far.
What I don’t understand is how when he sits on the toilet, the poop is the size of a grape. When it happens in his underwear, it is the size of an orange.
If you are still able to stomach it, head on over and read this diaper changing story. A creative dad earned the right to do laundry for the rest of the week for his improvisation.

My son made a teeny tiny poop in his potty then ran for a wipey to clean it up. But he did it. I would have never thought to give him a reward for a mini poop, but maybe I should.
He’s pretty funny about the whole thing. He’ll wander around the house every once in a while mumbling, “I want a Kit Kat.” But since he only gets Kit Kats when he poops, he’ll eventually wander off and try.
Well of course it would be that way around!
