thinkin' about it thursday.

potty training.
we've been trying to make cy more aware of the potty.  I'll admit I haven't given potty training a good try yet, because I'm just plain lazy.  (and grossed out by the thought.)  who wants to clean the carpet and the bathroom floor and the toilet and the underwear and the child in the shower and then put on new clothes and then do another load of laundry?  not me.  I will change diapers.  he does go in the potty every night while we are getting him ready for bed and I make sure to praise him a lot.  so, this one morning I know cy is about to make a dirty diaper and I ask him, "cy do you want to go poopy in the big boy toilet?!?!?"
and he says, "yes, mommy!"  
so, I strip him down and he gets on the toilet and tells me to "move."  I go out of the bathroom and give him a couple of minutes and.........nothing.  so, I get a diaper and underwear and say, "do you want a baby boy diaper or big boy mcqueen underwear?"  
he chooses the diaper, I put it on and he has a dirty diaper a minute later.  meanwhile, will is using the bathroom and I tell cy, "see cy, look, daddy is using the big boy toilet." 
cy proceeds to go into the bathroom, raise both hands and yells, "YAY!  daddy!!  GOOD JOB!!"  
yes, yay - we are all glad daddy is potty trained.
and that's what I'm thinkin' about today.
