Life Lessons at the Drinkall Home

I wouldn't quite say I'm potty training Max in full force these days.  I more so pick a time of the day I don't mind sitting....for eons...and place Max on the pot.  What do we do then you ask?  Oh, the opportunities are endless...

We play Dr. Max

We watch "toons"

Heck, we even eat snacks...

Alright!  Alright!  What life lessons have we learned, you ask?  Allow me to share:

1.  Don't allow your naked son to grab his own snack.  The cool breeze from the fridge may result in the following:

(Yes, folks.  That's a piddle in my fridge.)

2.  Don't leave your naked son alone in a playroom while you clean pee from your fridge.  It may result in this:

(Let's just say I had to use some of this to get turds off the rug... not to mention books, socks, the potty itself, etc. etc.)

3.  Always take time to explain to your son that it's okay to eat corn from a cobb or a plate but NOT okay to eat it after it's been "processed".  On second note, maybe it's best to keep corn off the menu during potty training.  (No, he didn't eat it.  I caught him before that happened.  Gross?  Yes!  True?  Unfortunately.)  

Due to the graphic content of this nature, no photograph will be displayed.  

You're welcome!  :)

4.  Take time to relax and enjoy your son's company.  Talk about dinosaurs, practice your colors and shapes.  Read books.  Let him listen to your heartbeat and check your ears.  Feed him applesauce.  Allow him to drink on the pot.  (It may speed things up!)  It worked for us!

(Yep!  We got a pee in the potty!  Yay!)

5.  Most importantly, CELEBRATE SUCCESS!!!  

(Might we recommend a little Olive Garden dinner?!)

Way to go, Maxer!  We are proud of you!

There you have it!  A few life lessons learned at the Drinkall home this past week!  

Love,
