No, my mind is not in the toilet today.  Scratch that…my mind is not in the toilet today any more than usual.  Yes, I admit that potty humor sometimes makes me snicker, but we all need to smile every once in a while.  Studies have shown laughter is good for your juju. 

So what’s up with the catchy headline then?  Well, we’re having a bloggy potty party for my remarkable little toddler.  He stayed dry ALL DAY yesterday AND while wearing underpants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  HUZZAH!!!!!!

He stayed dry all day Monday too, but while still wearing a pullup.  I sent him to school yesterday armed with 4 changes of clothes and lots of cute little underpants.  He even made it during the 20 minute car ride home and through supper before going potty before his bath.

I’m positively swelling with pride today.  My little boy can use the potty.  He’s not going to grow up to be some freak of nature that wets himself without warning.  He’s a freakin’ genius.

I was a little concerned there for a bit.  He started using the potty at school, but wasn’t good about using it at home.  Every once in a while he would, but it started to get worse till he flat out refused to use it at all.  I think he just got lazy, and it was way more fun to torture Mommy with his shun of the toilet.  I went from casually concerned to downright panicked.  What if never uses it?  What if he spends his life wearing Depends?  The girls will surely avoid him and the boys will laugh.  He’ll be a social pariah, and I will be his failure of a mother.  

You think I’m blowing it out of proportion a little?  So maybe I am a little, but I have no control over my late night restless thinking.  It takes me into all sorts of strange conclusions.

But, it’s all moot anyway because there’s hope.  My son has bladder control after all, and isn’t hell bent on tormenting his mother.  Woohoo!

Well, for those of you who were actually hoping for toilet humor and stuck around this long but fear you may have been disappointed, think again.  After all, I’m a full service blog, remember?

Well, not THAT full service.  Sheesh.  Get your mind out of the toilet.

Here’s a link to site with some funny jokes found on bathroom stall walls throughout the country.
