Maybe I'm Repressed, But This Seems Horrifying...

So, we're potty training #4, and it's going slowly but surely. On an unrelated note, I bought a book about fun things to do with your toddler when trapped inside for long periods (say October through April, for example). I saw suggested an activity called something along the lines of "Potty Pals" in this new book, and said, "Hey, maybe I can use that."

Basically, you're supposed to cut eyes and a nose out of construction paper and tape them to the inside of the lid of the potty, implying that the bowl itself is the mouth. The child is then responsible for *gag hold on a second I might--BARF!!* "feeding" the potty several times a day.

Seriously, I have very nearly vomited three times while writing this post.

As a parent, I try to avoid encouraging my children to urinate onto things with a face. It's not really high on the importance level, maybe right on par with never trust anyone with two first names.

That doesn't sound right. You don't want him growing up thining it's OK to pee on faces.

And I also do not trust people with 2 first names.
