NEWSFLASH!!!! HOLD THE FRONT PAGE
YES, I AM SHOUTING........loudly.....ELIJAH HAS JUST POOPED IN THE POTTY.
Forget Howard's birthday ( although it's going to be hard to forget the enormous chocolate fudge cake, with white and dark chocolate sprinkles in the fridge.)
Forget everything except that last night Elijah Henry aged 3 years and 3 weeks, dropped his drawers and peed, quite unasked , in his potty. And today, after returning from gramma's house, howling up the path because actually, he has decided that he wants to live there and not come home anymore, he stripped off, sat down and after a straining worthy of producing a 8lb live infant, actually POOPED in the POTTY.
I didnt have to lie him down and scrape his buttocks with 27 baby wipes, I didn't have to try and breathe through my teeth because it was a fresh and not rancid smashed up poop that we had been trying to avoide for 30 minutes. No bagging up the offensive landfill filling nappy. Wipe and flush and all set to go again.
There was such celebration and giving of chocolate bars, even though it isn't saturday and it IS dinner time. I am giddy with the idea that, by george, the kid might have grasped the concept that it is quite nice to relieve oneself in a potty, or toilet, rather than in a nappy that costs too much. Naturally, this monumentous occurance had to happen the very day after I gave in and bought a years supply of Huggies. No point buying cheap brands the kid soaks through them in seconds. I don't care.
I understand that one pooh and one wee does not a toilet trained child make BUT my optomistic heart tells me that as he has chosen to wait so long to become a civilised human being of the toilet using variety, he will do it very quickly.
Seth was 3 and 1 week and was done in a week, day and night just done. No wet beds, no accidents, done. Elijah...take note.
He is, as we speak, walking around in a pair of snowy white boxer shorts, with his hands down the front. Awww. all grown up.
Happy Birthday H.....could this be the best present to date?
OH MY GOSH!! He just DID IT AGAIN!
