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?

Finns poop stories need their own book
"poop tales" or "the many places poop can go" those are just some thoughts on titles
Jaxon is trying to put a positive spin on this potty training experience. He has dictated a poem (and requested I put it on the computer) in anticipation of Finn's success.
"Hooray! Hooray! It's a wonderful day! My son, Finley pooped in the potty today!"
Oh, I feel your pain!
Knock on wood, but by some miracle George understands pooping in the potty. For about a week that's the only place he's done it... Sometimes without mentioning it to us...
This made me laugh so hard! Potty training is such a struggle! Finn's gag reflex makes me smile--it seems George has that, too. He nearly threw up today when I asked him to pick up a piece of bread that fell out of his mouth. The wet texture of it set him off. Isn't it funny how kids are hardwired that way? I suppose it's to keep them from ingesting harmful substances.
Best of luck, Jess!
