Here's an awkward post, but based on the amount of time it's consumed in the past few weeks, what the heck! While he's been fabulous about doing his impression of Manneken Pis (a sculpture that was in fact the subject of one of the books that first won him over during potty training), Z has had, um, challenges feeling comfortable using the potty for number 2. Previously he'd just wait until he was in his pajamas (and diaper, or later pull-up) to take care of business, which led to a sometimes challenging (but generally successful) half-asleep or sleeping diaper change. However, combined with his selective eating, he did occasionally get stopped up, to the point where it was visibly tough for him when he did go. In the last few weeks, he's given up on the nighttime avenue as well, and sometimes days have gone by without an event. So we're back into potty training mode, spending lots and lots of often Z-frustrating time on the potty when he clearly has to go but won't. There's an occasional success, but overall it's still a big challenge for him to overcome. On the plus side, he's found a new favorite potty book.
Since we've gone and done that poop post anyway, I'll also relay Owen's cute habit of going into our dining room corner, hiding behind a chair, and if we ask him what's going on, he'll exclaim "No poop!" with a bright red face. A few minutes later he'll generally start walking around saying "P. U. Stinky!"
