POTTY TRAINING THE KING PT. 2: DOODOO RAIN DANCE

CAUTION: The following image should not be viewed while eating amala with ewedu soup or any food if you have a queasy stomach.


Yes, those dark lumps are exactly what you think they are. lol! Apparently my son took off his diaper during his naptime and decided to do some kind of 'doodoo rain dance' around his room.

I mean really? Really? He had a diaper when he went to bed for nap time and when Husband discovered him, the boy had removed his diaper, pooped all over his bedroom, put poop in a couple toys (that had to be thrown away) and even smeared some of the stuff on his bed! My mom laughed and gave him a new nickname - $#!& master! no lie! lol!

This is what all of you aspiring parents have to look forward to! lol! Okay, well maybe not. But, I will say that TK is serious about not pooping in his diaper because the day after the above happened, he pooped again but in his pants. Mind you, he had taken off his pants, removed his diaper, put his pants back on and then, pooped. There is a serious method to my son's poop-madness. =) His poop managed to collect at his left ankle. ALL OF IT. I calmly instructed him to go to his granny for a nice clean up and warm bath. Can you believe the woman was happy to clean him up? That is absolutely the difference between a parent and a grandparent, lol!

By the way, my mom got to read your well wishes that you sent her on her birthday and she is praying for all of you. However, she finds it weird that she can't pray for you guys using your real names, hahaha. Aunty Afrobabe, she wanted to see your blog, but I used 'style' to not show it to her. I might find your pics funny, but I know for a fact that one look at one of your pics and she will be claiming the blood of Jesus on all of us bloggers. lol! Oh, and, my people have you read Naijaleta's post on Nigerian bloggers? He writes about what he imagines bloggers like Nigeriandramaqueen, Bumight and Afrobabe are like. If you haven't been to this guys site, swing by an drop him a line. We have to encourage new bloggers, right?

My ...Easier... fam, it is 1:30 am, I am under orders to call my egbon (big brother) at 6 am London time which means I must stay up for another 30 minutes. The things we do for family... And talking about the things we do, this Friday there is actually a Talk To The Easier Crew question. A friend has a dilemma and there are a couple options on what she can do. I suggested we ask you guys and she is curious to know what my "internet padis"[1] think, so stop by on Friday for the newest Talk To The Easier Crew installment.

God bless and make sure you don't do the 'doodoo rain dance' on a carpeted floor, oh!

First of all, thanks for the link to my post. Much appreciated.

You know the part that really got me laughing, using style to prevent your mum from seeing Afrobabe's blog. That babe is something else. Just make sure your mum does not even see her new post or else it's prayer of deliverance she'll be praying for all of us.

Just make sure you do the same for someone else, you know. lol! I don't want to give my mom high blood pressure, so Afrobabe's page and my mom's eye shall never meet if I have anything to do with it. Sorry, Aunty Afrobabe! lol!

is TE takin any stand in this whole thing??

shalewa said...

Eya,pele.By the way i was reading true love and came across a page titled potty training for beginners and I just thot of you.So here they are
1.Take ur child with you when choosing a potty
2.Let ur child get use to potty by sitting them on it even when they don't need to use it
3.Encourage ur child to tell you when they need to go to the toilet
4.Give ur child plenty of praise when they use the potty
5.Do not tell ur child off if they fail to use the potty or if they have an accident
6.If ur child is not ready,stop for a couple of months and start again
7.Use training pants during the day(encouraging ur child to go on the potty himself) and nappies at night
8.Let ur child help you empty the potty into the toilet.This might help with the transition of potty training to toilet training
9.Encourage hygiene by reminding children to wipe properly,and to wash their hands after every visit to the potty

As for afrobabe's blog, do not ever let your mum see it! I repeat do not! It might ellicit another reaction from her apart from shouting the blood of Jesus...please save the dear woman's heart...lol!

Woomie O! said...

But it looks like he's almost gotten it...that's if the picture is 'nothing' to go by, lol.
I can't wait to be a mother.
