A family isn't determined by who is or isn't in it, or how it came to be, but by the bond that is created by the love that is shared.

Exposed

I've wondered how I am going to potty-train my son, since, well, I don't have much experience with the male method of going. Apparently I needn't worry as I had it figured it out when I was 3.

And for those of you that wonder what I look like (since I haven't posted a picture of myself on my blog) here ya go! Just add 40+ years. Boy, I wish my butt still looked like that! ;)

Alysa,
I am totally cracking up. What a great picture and would we all love for our butts to have remained from when we were 3. :)

Here's hoping that darn elusive LOI comes soon.

Okay, I'm laughing at your cute photo but I'm also *cracking* up at Sandi's comment. I wonder if she realized how funny her word usage was when you know it goes with your photo?

I will tell you that when I was little I used to be soooo upset that my brother never wiped after he went pee like I had to. It used to make my parents laugh when I complained. They just used to say, "Boys don't have to wipe." I was really upset about that! hee hee

Yep, you had cute buns and you look very proud of it in the photo!

Oh my gosh, that is just too cute!!

When I was that age, I soooooo wished I could stand up and go. I thought it was NO fair that boys could stand up and girls had to sit down. The injustices of the world! :-)

your lil boy will learn just fine. Sean sat to go until he figured out going on the potty anyway. :)

You were a cutie pie and i'm sure you still are. :)

Great pic--great black mail pic.

I have a great picture of Sean sitting on the potty reading some chic magazine. It's a classic.

Thanks for the laugh! Alex sat for awhile, but now he stands. Boys are a lot to deal with when you a have a not so clean bathroom situation.

I can see the similarities of you and that cutie pie in the picture.

We've been told that they are already potty training 8 month "Bubbette" here in Kaz. I guess they start them around this time. She is usually in panties most of the day except when we have her for visits then I put her in a diaper we bring. Maybe you will not have to worry about it LOL
Thanks for the posts and the advise to bring a spatula-Lesley

Whoa Nellie!!! Cute caboose!

Thanks for posting a photo of yourself! I still don't know if I would recognize you at the airport...unless you mooned me. ;-)

Hilarious - a rebel at a very young age! Who needs a penis to pee standing up?!

We taught L to straddle the toilet backwards. Don't ask me why. Someone told us to do it because he would just need to back up to get the whole standing and peeing thing. It seems like it is less difficult somehow - he didn't need the seat insert which is a big pain. We never got around to the standing part and he went to pre-K and did his thing sitting backwards and the aide was confounded. I guess we are the only ones that did this?? The teacher asked us to teach him how to pee correctly. That was an interesting conversation.
