Noah's observations

Underwear Observation:

It is probably no surprise to you that we do not use nicknames for private body parts in our house. Since we are still working on potty training with Noah, sometimes these words are used A LOT. (trying to teach a toddler to aim is IMPOSSIBLE.) Anyway, the use of these terms has lead to a lot of interesting (and hilarious) conversations with Noah and while at first I just would answer the questions and try not to focus too much on it, lately I have had to tell him that we don't talk about these things unless we are in the bathroom going potty.

Yesterday, Noah was wearing his underwear (and nothing else) and kept sticking his hand into the opening. Then he looked at me very seriously and tilted his head to the side and said

"this is not a pocket"

I'll tell ya, it's hard work not laughing at these things in front of Noah. I have to be strong though, I don't want to encourage it! :)

Lunchtime Observation:

while staring intently at his spoonful of macaroni, Noah excitedly whispered:
"this is the biggest bite I have ever seen!"

Sometimes they never learn to aim but keep trying - his future wife will love you.

Yea, I've heard to train boys sitting down to pee until they get the idea, (and can aim) then they get to "graduate" to standing. Either that or the "hit the blue dot in the toilet" game. But good luck. Kit can do it all, but just has no desire to do it. So we're still waiting for her OK to train.

hahaha, Valerie, Noah does sit down to pee. Aiming is still an issue. You'll see ;)
