Potty Break

  Many babies do great things - things that make their parents proud, things that are advanced, things that make their parents' lives easier.  Of all these things, the best gift a baby can give his or her parents is the gift of using the big potty.  And I, MLS, age 9 months 3 and one half weeks, did on this day, November 30, 2012, go poo-poo in the potty. 

   No, no....no need for praises.  It was really no big deal.  I just did what any 3 year old can do.  Except that I'm only almost 10 months, but really it's no big deal.  (*Mommy, really I don't need a solid gold crib as a reward.  Cash is fine...yes I suppose I can accept a check.*)  I don't think I shall do it again any time soon however.  I believe there are certain trials, certain tests of character, that parents should be required to go through.  And if I start using the potty regularly this soon, mommy and daddy will miss out on a lot of character building opportunities.  Being the loving, considerate son I am, I shall continue to play the part of the needy baby until I feel that they have reached their full parental potential. :)
