More adventures in potty training. Thomas has now decided to pee standing up. This came as quite a shock to me and Kei. We didn’t know that he even considered it as an option. To be honest, it’s a lot cleaner – especially when we provide him with “targets” in the form of cheerios floating in the bowl.

Tonight Thomas needed to use the loo. He ran into the bathroom, pulled down his pants, stood on a stool and assumed the position. Unfotunately he leaned a little far forward and fell head first into the bowl. He ended up in water up to his elbows.

I tried to laugh it off, even when Thomas started crying a little. I think it was more the shock than anything but I am really hoping this doesn’t make him afraid of the potty. The good news is that he got right back on the horse and finished what he went in there to do – after I dried him off with a towel of course. 

These are the things you don’t think about when you decide you want to start a family.
