Yes Internets, There Really is a Santa Claus

Carson doesn’t want to poop on the potty anymore.  Not that he ever actually, you know, pooped.  Or peed for that matter.  He won’t so much as even sit on the potty anymore.  I guess he was getting bored, too.   (Amazing really, since I thought men relished in sitting on the pot for hours.)

He is back to his poop denying self.  “No poop,” grunting.  “No poop,” turning red in the face.  “No.  Pooooooop.”

And all is right with the world again.

I guess wishes really do come true!  So yes Internets, there really is a Santa Claus.

    Denying that he is the one stinking the house up already, huh? He’s starting early.

    Nothing like poopin’ in your pants to regal the magic of the Christmas season. Well done Santa. Well done.

    Oh yeah. Mine used to tell us, or at least admit to it, and then we tried the potty and then he got bored of the potty and now he denies it despite stinking to high-heaven. “No pooop!” indeed.

    Okay, try this. I did on Tuesday. Even though he may be little, he is still a BOY. Fix up a nice little basket or whatever and put in books and toys, etc. I did this for Daniel and I have to go get him off of the potty!!

    Yes, my 2 1/2 year will not go near the potty. Well actually, she will sit on it, but she only with her diaper on. She has the whole potty routine down pat – she has her magazine, knows how to wipe, pretends to flush – if she would just let me take OFF her diaper so she can actually try it! Oh, well, they all eventually learn, right?

    All I can say is it’s a process – a long, painful process.

    And a Merry Christmas to the whole Binky family!!

    seriously, sometimes i think Carson and Zander are the same person! Zander got bored with the potty, even after he had peed in it a few times, and now he won’t sit on it anymore. and he will stand there, grunting, turning red, and adamantly say to me “no poop!”. uh-huh…i think there is, little boy! :)

    What is it with boys? Garrett will poop in the potty if I remind him to go and sit there, otherwise he will just do it where ever…his pants, the floor – he isn’t picky.

    Hey, my FOUR year old isn’t interested in the potty…she says it’s easier to wear a pull-up. How to argue with that logic?
