A New Adventure

Now that we've almost conquered this potty training thing (almost, almost, almost....blah!) we've moved on to the new phase that is: STANDING TO PEE.

Now, I'd just as soon let him sit forever, but his big brother stands and it's so fun and so "Big Boy". This conversation occurs daily:
Me: Do you have to go potty?
Him: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Me: Come on, let's go
Him: Can I stand up?
Me: Fine, yes
Him: Alright.

This is an area I have no expertiese in, obviously, so Little Man tried to teach him, and then we called in reinforcements (DAD) who was like "what am I supposed to do? hold it for him?" Well I don't know, I've never done this before.

With Little Man he just came home from pre-school and announced "Hayden told me that girls sit to pee and that I should stand up and he showed me how." I was slightly disturbed about them being in the bathroom together, but well, it taught him how, so I let it go.

A few days ago I was helping him, and he just let go mid- stream and HIT THE WALL, with some force, that's a couple feet at least. He'll also try to talk to me, so my shower curtain (my white shower curtain) is yellow.

But today, I went in their bathroom (which I just never really go in, but apparently should) and it smelled like pee, I thought maybe a diaper had been left in the garbage (we still need them at night) but there wasn't one, so with some further investigation on my hands and knees I realized that the floor around the toilet was YELLOW, and crusty and gross and probably crawling in germs. This was more than a simple mopping can handle, it required some scrubbing.

I feel like showering just thinking about it.
