Some signs that Zachio is getting older. He can now push the crosswalk button all by himself! He might even be taller than his baby cousin Hub! And perhaps the biggest testiment is that we have begun the wild adventure of potty training complete with big boy underwear!
For the most part he has already mastered this skill! Already has a favorite pair of big boy underwear (Fireman Emo - Thanks to Bub). He has also decided that he prefers to pee alone. Lately he proclaims:
"Daddy I have to go potty!!! I'll do it myself" and with that he darts to the closet bathroom, grabs the stool, down go his pants and elmos and he pees away. I stand in the doorway ready at a moment notice to save him in case he falls in or more likely decides to empty the entire roll of toilet paper into the toilet!!!
The other day he bolted into the bathroom after his potty declaration - with absolutely no hint that anything would be different. As I peer into the bathroom to make sure that nothing is amiss, I see him standing barebottom on the stool looking out the bathroom window. Now any of you who have potty trained a child now that this is a not good. There are few firm rules in potty training, but 1 g-d given rule is that you should always face the tiolet when peeing (as long as you are a boy - don't want to confuse any of you)!
"Umm Zachio," no sooner had I started to offer some advice on his tiolet centric coordinates, I hear an unmistakable sound! Pzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, dribble, dribble, Pzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Zachio is definately my son, distracted by a passing squirrel he had peed on the wall! Not only on the wall but on a roll of tiolet paper! The worse is that he turned to me with a big grin - "Daddio, I peed on the wall! Its like peeing on a tree!" Unfortunately, I started laughing! And between guffaws, did my best to explain that we can only pee on trees when we are outside in the woods and when we are inside we have to pee in the tiolet. Not sure if that lesson got thru to his genius mind. Only time will tell.
