Before I had Kailer I remember thinking to myself, "How will I raise a boy (and not knowing he was a boy until he was born)?" I grew up with a sister and even though I was around boys growing up (cousins and family friends), I had a hard time thinking about all of the 'boy' things that would come along with having one! After all, I'd never spent any time around motorcycles or loaders!
So now that we've officially had Kailer out of diapers since last Saturday (with no accidents - Yes!!), I've had even more of an eye-opener when it's come to potty-training a boy. Two days ago I was reminded of the humor that goes along with having a toddler, period! While going potty Kailer decided to be a typical boy and, well, 'squirt' all around the bowl of the toilet and then ("oops") a little outside of the bowl. I simply said to Kailer, "Kailer we don't need to pee outside of the toilet." "I'm a fire engine he replied!" I stopped dead in my tracks and was speechless. I couldn't help it, I laughed;
and then promptly marched out to his father and said, "You need to have a chat with your son about potty etiquette!" Oh, the joys of raising Kailer!
