This may be a hard read for non-parents, but I don’t care. Right now I’m speaking to anybody and everybody who has been through the same experience. Today, our son went potty in the POTTY! We’ve been practicing for a while now and before today it’s always been sort of a mess. Nic is at the point where he tells me - while he’s going. By the time we get to the potty it’s usually a scene of damage control. Sometimes (depending on what he ate), I wondered if it was worth the effort. Not today! My son looked at me and said, “Mommy, Poo-Poo”. We ran to the bathroom, took off his pull-ups and he went! We both yelled and yippie’d; we gave each other high-fives and we did a happy dance. After, he put a sticker on his poo-poo board and I gave him a Wiggles band-aide for a reward. I have never been so happy to see a brown thing floating in the toilet. I thought my son was a genius. To my non-parent friends (and family): Yes, I know. Life has changed a bit since my 60 hour work weeks and happy hour hang-outs. My experience today however was better than any bonus I ever saw from corporate life.

Our Son, The Wonder Boy.

Some quotes from the past few weeks. We love this stage in his development. It’s amazing to see how he views the world around him. Fun times.

* (While playing trains with his daddy) “Hey! You broke my toy. Dat not nice. Say you sorry.” (Daddy didn’t really break it, he just took a track section apart)

*(Watching Lion King - part where Mufasa dies) “What happened to his daddy? Did he get an owie? He need a band-aid?”

*(Asking if he went potty) “NO! I went not!”

*”I’m Happy” (said this after he and daddy finished making grass angels)

*(Mom and Dad trying to come into the middle of the ABC’s song). Big voice: “NO! NO! WAIT YOUR TURN!” Smaller voice: “Nicholas only!”

*"What the Heck??" (Guess Mom and Dad have to start watching what they say)
