back on the wagon

or toilet, as the case may be. Howie sat on his little potty chair this morning. Why is that noteworthy? Because he has neither asked nor agreed to sit on the little or big potty chair (as he calls it) since he fell off the toilet on Thursday. I have a few theories on how that happened. I'm not clear on the matter since I'm too impatient to sit in the room for 5 minutes while he rocks back and forth to make his seat squeak after he's accomplished his task. given the bump on his head, the direction in which he fell and the tipped over diaper pail, the possibilities are:

a- he was reaching for the toilet paper holder, which is empty and fascinates him
b- he was reaching for the roll of toilet paper on the counter, which also fascinates him. said fascination is reason for the holder being empty
c- he was reaching for the empty toilet paper tube, which he likes to play with and was on the counter because his parents are lazy
d- he was attempting to extract the mini-shower/diaper sprayer from the diaper pail
e- he was trying to see the large spider I had squashed a few minutes before at the bottom of the diaper pail
f- given his age, gender and penchant for mischief, there is no way to know for sure

We have yet to jump on the potty wagon at our house. I'm not bitter.

Hope you are doing well! Sorry it's been so long since I checked up!

"If you fall off the potty get right back on".

That's good he didn't get traumatized after the fall.
Good luck Valarie. And Howie.
