Tales from Potty Training

WARNING, DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH OR ARE EATING.



I don't know why I thought Finn would be easier to potty train than my other boys. He is more aware, but still not any more compliant than the others. Although he pooped on the potty once in the last week, the rest of his BMs have been in inappropriate places. (Kitchen floor, diaper, carpet, underwear x 4, etc)

Tonight was the worst though. Finn has been running around naked the last few weeks for potty training purposes. Anyway, tonight he started yelling from my room about poop. So I ran at the speed of light to see where he had dropped his deuce and found him sitting in our bathroom sink! Sure enough, as I pick him up he starts to cough and gag (remember this is the kid who vomits when he smells his own poop) and lest we have a bigger mess on my JUST CLEANED PORCELAIN VANITY I plop him on the potty and go to recruit Mark to clean up the mess. In the meantime, Finn ignores my request to sit still on the potty and comes marching out with you-know-what hanging from his bum. When asked "Where does your poop go, Finn?" he replies, "In the potty" with the mischievous little smile of a child who knows better.

The ironic part is when Mark figures out what's going on, he starts laughing hysterically and the other kids can't figure out what's so funny.

The bathroom sink?

Seriously?

Where's the strangest place you or your kid has ever pooped?
