Cereal…it’s not just for breakfast

There has been a recent development in our household that I consider nothing short of a miracle…Kade is peeing in the potty. He goes into the bathroom on his own, shuts the door, puts the seat up, takes off his pull-up, sprinkles in some cheerios and proceeds to aim his stream directly at the little boogers as they swish around the bowl…then he shakes, PUTS THE SEAT DOWN (can you tell that he’s my son), flushes and reluctantly washes his hands. Did I mention that he does all of this by himself? I cannot believe it. I am beaming with pride. I have also been patting myself on the back for thinking of dropping some targets (i.e. cheerios) into the bowl to see if it would help…lo and behold, it actually worked. Please keep your fingers crossed that this trend continues. Also, if anyone has a suggestion for a target that he can aim his poop at (like a picture of our dear president…or a UofM logo) I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hey….maybe you should tell your story to “TARGET” you might just get a commercial out of it!!! That is awesome :) Can’t wait to see all of you…I will tell everyone about your “Cheerio revolution”

    P.s. Kade’s teachers are going to think both you and him are crazy when he takes his bag of cheerios into the boys bathroom to go potty :)
