Castles

So Griffin is on the tail end of potty training. He always pees in the potty, sleep in underwear, and has recently been telling me when he has to go poopie in the potty. He still has his occasional slip ups where he goes in his pants but most of the time, if you either catch him trying to hide and go or he tells you, he goes in his little training potty. So....this morning, as we are eating breakfast, he tells me he has to go poopy. As usual, I jump up with excitement and say "ok baby let's go!"

Once he is in the bathroom and sitting on his potty he tells me he needs "piacy" (privacy) and so I close the door and listen outside the door. This morning was different because he kept saying "i'm skeezing (squeezing) my poopies out" so I kept encouraging him and laughing because it was so adorable. Who knew that pooping could be such an adorable activity!

When he was done he yells "I done!" and I am allowed to come into the bathroom again. Now, for those of you who have kids, you will understand how cute this is, but for those of you who don't like to talk about poop you may be grossed out but here it goes. His poop was kind of soft this morning so it kind of piled up into the kid potty. He gets up and says "mommy, it's a castle" to which I respond, "honey that is the best castle I have ever seen". And as I am wiping him and cleaning him up he says, "mommy, the castle is for you"!

Now I know it's kind of gross but I told him that was the nicest gift he could ever give a mommy because he's going in the potty! It was so adorable and hystericall all at the same time! Being a mother is amazing!!!
