The female members of the family have headed off to Chicago for a long weekend, to attend yet another gathering of gals to celebrate the soon arrival of another child into the world.
For those that are not in the know, it's baby season. Ladies, or at least a lot of them that I know, are popping out babies left and right or soon to be. Congratulations to them all.
With the ladies heading north to take part in some pasta salad, finger sandwiches, and cake, the gentlemen of the family are going to hold down the fort in our big boy underwear. That's right, this weekend, The Little Man will be spending a lot of time in his big boy underpants. It's potty training time. I'm not so sure of how it's going to work out, but I figure if there is a time for it, it's now.
He knows what he's doing as far as telling you when he's peeing or dropping a deuce in his diaper, but he just can't put it together when sitting on the potty. Now when he sits on the potty, he sits there with this huge grin on his face and makes the sound, "pppsssssssss". It is very hard not to laugh.
I think it might be a little easier for us to try this weekend, because we won't have Doodlebug, the chatterbox, around. She's a great cheerleader for him, but I would imagine it's a little hard for him to concentrate when she's on the other side of the door talking non-stop, "Dude...did you pee? Did you drop a deuce in the water, Dude? You can do it!! It's fun to flush!!"
All I know is that I'm ready to stop buying diapers and even more so, tired of changing them. I hope we can get closer to that goal after this weekend. It's not going to be pretty.
Good luck little man...you can do it!
