We’re finally starting potty training with Charles. We should have done it long ago but we’re lazy. Charles is fine with sitting on the potty but he doesn’t really connect it with any biological functions. I ask him to let me know before he has to go potty but he just asks “why?” so I don’t think he quite understands. It’s hard getting him to say whether he has poopy diapers. He also talks about “go poop” when he means “pee”.
Mom did have one success yesterday, when Charles managed to get some pee in to the potty for the first time. Mom’s comment was that it was a good start, but Charles would need some work on the “aim” concept. I suspect a “boys will be boys” comment won’t be appreciated.

Depends on by whom. I appreciate you Alan.
Oh, and FWIW, it turns out that girls (or at least our girls) need aim practice as well. Apparently if they sit pretty far forward and at just the right angle…
How long did you have to work on that before the girls managed to surprise LeAnn?
No work at all. My children are what are called prodigies. Kind of like Mozart, but with more stains.
