Potty Training Gems

First off let me announce the successful potty training of Finn! The potty training in a day with a potty party method worked again (thank you Cassie). Along this process there are many new questions about anatomy and conversations regarded it's uses. Combining a new little sister (the first girl in the family)....oh wait I guess I'm a girl...(or am I?)......(aaauuuhhhh I'm a hermaphrodite)... sorry sorry, side tracked by my bazaar sense of humor. Anyway Finn has taken to defining the differences between boys and girls on an alarmingly frequent basis. We went with the slightly unsettling but medically correct words for body parts. One of which Finn says wrong. So every hour or so Finn feels the need to define the difference between every girl and boy in the room/church meeting/grocery store. He proceeds to tell me what every boy has and what every girl has. The funny part of this embarrassing process is that he calls girl parts (going for Phonetic) Ba-jine-ma-s.

One other useful bit of advice that Finn feels the need to impart to every living soul is that "bums are not toys". Always a good tip to keep fresh in your mind. I think I might cross stitch this and hang it in our living room.....maybe I can make it at the next "Bring your own craft girls night", just to let everyone one know that I know what's really important.

Now the photo above this post is another little gem of the process. He built a robot and  he started telling me about it. "Notice the large zig zag head" "the down turned arms and green legs". Now take a gander at the lower blue piece on the robot to which Finn described as "the robot's private parts". Nice

Now he just needs to make a female robot so that they can have lots of cute robot babies. What a cutie.

This made me laugh quite a bit.

LOL! The ever-entertaining/embarrassing life as a mom.
Eve loves to talk about boy and girl parts. We use the anatomically correct names and she is very informative about what girls have and what boys have. However, the other day she said, "I am a penis."
wow.
Anyhow, funny post. Love Finn's robot too.

HA! So glad potty training in a day worked. Also glad Finn is letting the world know all he knows.

he just needs to read a little Diarrhea of a Lumpy Kid on the toilet and he'll be set!
