Buddy poops in the potty... sort of

B read a book called The Einstein Syndrome by Thomas Sowell that deals a lot with late talkers, which Buddy was. But what was also interesting is that late talkers also tend to potty train later than other kids their age. So, at least he won't be in diapers forever, just longer than we'd like.

So the other day Buddy was taking a bath and told me he felt like poop needed to come out. So he sat on the potty for a couple of minutes and then wanted back in the bath. A few minutes later he repeated that he felt like poop needed to come out, but a bit more frantically. I grabbed him and put him on the potty. But first, two tiny pellets of poop went in the bath tub and a rather significant sized poop ended up on the wall of the bathtub... somehow, we're not sure how. (We have pictures if you'd REALLY like to see.) But THEN, he pooped more in the potty. So, sort of a success. So the next day was "Buddy Day" as his reward. He wanted ice cream, cookies, and construction cones made out of paper.
