poop happens

last night we were trying to get huston in the bathtub and he kept saying he wanted to go potty.  now in the past, that meant he sat on the potty 5% of the time and ran around the house naked the other 95% of the time.  he likes to sit on the potty but has never actually gone in it.  he kept going back and forth between the frog potty and the real toilet and finally i got sick of it and just put him in the tub.

i went into the next room to put away some laundry and heard this terrified scream.  i went in to see what it was all about and my poor baby was pointing to a big ol' piece of poop in the tub and screaming.  he looked so scared i didn't have time to laugh, but i sure do every time i think of it now.  doug dealt with cleaning the tub and toys and i had to hold him for awhile and do what i could  to prevent him from being scared of poop so bad that it interferes with potty training when we start.  my baby learned the hard way, poop happens.  even in the tub.

and i guess from now on when he tells us he needs to potty.....we'll listen.
