Yea Mommy!

Today I got a standing ovation. Not one I was expecting at all. I was simply going about my business when all of the sudden I heard, "Yea, Mommy!! You did it! You went pee-pee in the potty!" I kept hearing for the next few minutes, "Mommy I so proud of you. You peed in the potty!" At least he is learning something from all my hard potty training work! Well actually, I give his Nana most of the credit. She worked with him for an entire week. All I get when I ask Cannon if he wants to use the potty is, "No! I wear diapers! Cannon wears diapers!"

The other day I heard Cannon say "Uh Oh, poo poo!" and run to the bathroom. I thought OMG! He is finally getting it! Then I heard the toilet flush. I was scared to go in there. What I found was semi-good and semi-bad. I saw Cannon, diaperless, standing by the toilet saying "Mommy, I poopied in the potty!" I flush it!" Hmmm... I thought. There is no possible way he could have done it that fast. So I did what any mother would do. A butt check. Sure enough there was poop all over his bottom. I asked Cannon where he put his diaper. "It right there Mommy!" He had placed it in the trash can. I checked the diaper and it had markings in if, if you know what I mean. So I concluded that he pooped in his diaper, then took it off and flushed the poop down the toilet. He has seen me and Nana do this before. The problem is he thinks he deserves a treat for this. Because his poop was in the toilet. I want him to understand that this is where poop goes, but the process of it getting there was not right. I explained to him this was good for him to do but he only gets treat when he actually sits on the potty to go. He wasn't too happy with that.

Well, tomorrow morning is the big day. My little boy is going under the knife!! :) I just ask for your prayers. That he will respond fine to the anesthetic and that he will not be in a lot of pain. I will let everyone know how he is going as soon as I can! Thanks for the prayers!
