We have potty training on the brain in the Payne household. This comes coupled with the fact that Ethan has decided to start hiding in strange places around and outside the house to do his business. Yesterday I caught him outside in the backyard squatting next to the air conditioning unit. I think he is trying to tell us something here...

A few days before the air conditioning unit incident, he decided to have his bathroom break in the laundry hamper. This is all happening with clothes still on by the way. Thank goodness for small things.

In combination with the odd potty areas, he has suddenly wanted to watch Elmo's Potty Time five hundred times in a row. Normally I would put my foot down, especially since Ethan has a habit of getting hooked on one show and not letting it go. This dvd however is welcomed with open arms. I can't even imagine what life would be like with two boys in diapers instead of three. Wow.

If potty training were only as easy as it is on Sesame Street. In this scene Abby Cadaby is so excited about picking out her new underpants that she can hardly contain herself. Elmo is looking at her like the rest of us and thinking, "Get a grip, how exciting can puppet underpants be?" So, I will of course keep the blog updated as we embark on the exciting new chapter of potty training. In the meantime, I have to get used to "pee-pee" "poo-"poo" "wee-wee" "woo-"woo" coming out of Ethan's mouth all the time. Let's just hope he doesn't do this in public!
