When your toddler shares TMI

So Sammy has expressed a renewed interest in potty training. We haven't pushed the issue, since who knows what time in the hospital and the surgery are going to do in that arena. We figure we'll let him go at his own pace.

The other day I brought him into the wonderland that is our basement. (After the first time I brought him down there, he told a friend, "That's where the toys all live!") He spied his little trainer potty and proceeded to scream for half an hour, complete with foot stomping and pulling on the door handle, until I went downstairs and brought it up.

So today I figured - he's sporting a little bit of a rash, I'd let him run around sans-bottoms for a while. Sure enough, he told me when he had to go on the potty, and sure enough, he peed on the potty. Go, Sammy!

But not before I caught him sitting quietly on the couch. When I asked him what he was doing, he casually replied, "I'm wiggling my peepee."

And so it begins. Boys. Sigh.

You must be thrilled he's taking an interest in this. And doing pretty well ... and as for the other thing ... well ... he's only male. I don't think they can help themselves.

Well, at least he comes by it honestly, your hubby's Flickr fixation with a certain large... piece of artwork in your home. ;-)

Girls are no better. I remember critiquing my mom's teeth ("why are they so FLAT when mine have little ridges on the bottom? and why aren't they white?") at the age of 8 or younger. I'm done for when Sara starts studying me...

Hilarious. I love those quirky moments. It reminds me of my son. He has some autistic tendencies so he doesn't quite understand social interactions. When we were potty training him several years ago, he calling urination "making bubbles" and his equipment "a bubble machine." Go figure. Well, a few weeks ago, he woke up one morning with, um, a woodie and told me that his bubble machine was full. It took every part of me not to laugh, so I just steered him into the bathroom. And now that he's noticed his testicles... good lord, I have to watch the conversations about balls and nuts.

Yes, boys.

I'm a mama! SleepydoodleLittle Samson Daniel was born on February 24th, 2006. Sammy was born with a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). He underwent his first open heart surgery at 4 days old and his second at 5 months old. He will need another surgery when he's between 2 and 3 years old. His mama and daddy, however, think he's absolutely perfect. You can read all about his birth here, or all about him on his site, baby samson.
