I can almost taste the sweet victory of potty training, and it’s got me feeling like a champion. While I may not have won any competitions, this particular goal feels like a victory in the making. Is this what triumph tastes like? Maybe it’s cheesecake or a fine glass of wine? Either way, I’m all in.
My youngest, my little forever baby, is just a couple of months shy of 2 years old, and with every diaper change, I’m reminded that he’s one step closer to trading those diapers for big boy underwear—preferably adorned with superheroes or cartoon characters. I’m not one to dream too big, but I am ready for him to reveal his little self to the nearest toilet. Here’s why:
1. His Unbelievable Strength
At 21 months and nearly 40 pounds, my child possesses a strength that rivals superheroes. Imagine trying to change a diaper on a toddler that feels like lifting a small boulder. It’s a workout, trust me.
2. His Fascination with His Privates
Boys have a natural inclination to explore their bodies, and toddlers are no exception. During diaper changes, it’s like trying to wrestle an octopus while he’s busy tugging and pulling at his own bits. It’s time to move on from this phase!
3. His Love for Toilets
To my toddler, toilets are like interactive water tables. He splashes around, clogs them with toys, and even tries to wield the toilet brush like a sword. He’s clearly fascinated, and I can’t help but think he’s ready to take the plunge into potty training.
4. The Amount of Dirty Diapers
Let’s face it—no one should be pooping five times a day. It’s a logistical nightmare. I’m tired of the constant cycle of changing and cleaning. It’s time for him to learn that the toilet is where the action should happen.
5. His Love of Music
You can’t bust a move around the house while dancing to your favorite tunes unless you’re potty trained. I mean, how can you shake it to the beat of a catchy song like “Uptown Funk” without worrying about an accident on the carpet? It’s simply not possible.
With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s time for my little one to step up his potty game. After all, you can’t have a dance party in your living room if you can’t control your bodily functions—unless you’re my great-aunt, who gets a free pass at 94 years old!
