Crickets

Evan has been using the potty since Saturday and has had very few accidents.  He has been wearing big boy undies all day, everyday with the exception of nap time and bed time.  Today while he was on the toilet, we had a classic conversation.

Evan to me while pooping: I only have little poops, Mom.  Not big poops.  I'm done.

Me: Well, why don't see if you have to go more?

Evan: I don't

Me: Just try

(He tries)

Evan: WOW!  Those were big poops!  They were like crickets.

Me: Crickets?

Evan: Yeah, crickets.  Stinky poops are like crickets.

Don't ask me why or how but that is what he said.  I could write a book with all of the gems he comes up with while sitting on the toilet.  I'd call it Toilet Talks!

All in all, I have to say that potty training Evan was a snap.  We tried a few times (once in December, once in February, and then again just a few weeks ago) but he wasn't quite ready.  Then this past weekend when we cancelled our trip to NJ, we decided to try again.  We put Evan in big boy undies sometime mid-day Friday and by Sunday morning he was telling us when he needed to go and going on his own too!  We even made it through a trip to the grocery store with no accidents today.  Everyone told us when they are ready, they are ready...it really was true!  Let's hope Logan is as easy!

These pictures are from mid-April...I just love that little bum in big boy undies!  Evan will likely hate me for posting these pictures someday.
