If you haven’t picked up on this yet, we are in the continual process of potty-training my son.  We started when he got curious about the potty - at the ripe age of two.  He is now three and one month, and shows little progress.  Yes, he will go on the potty, but he just doesn’t care.  I kind of think that he is doing it to torment spite torture show me that he can make his own decisions.

Then - this weekend, we made a huge discovery.  We had a billion (exaggeration? perhaps) open houses to go to (I mentioned that I teach seniors, yes?) and at every one of them, Aidan had to use the potty.  Hooray!  By open house number three, we wondered how it was that he could ask us to use the potty then, and yet not at home.  We went to a restaurant, and were curious if this newfound potty-freedom would translate to the restaurant - and it did!  It was a potty miracle!

So - what is next?  Will we continue on the road to potty success?  Or will this all be a wash? (or, more practically, a flush?)  How many more potty words can I come up with?  Stay tuned…
