I was a big boy this morning…

I went potty…

Let me explain…

My morning ritual with Little “L” usually involves me getting up around 6:30 AM (after hitting the snooze button a couple of times) and bringing the little guy downstairs for his morning milk. Well, as Mother Nature would have it, like clockwork, I always have to use the washroom right after I get the milk ready. So, I plop Little “L” on the couch, turn on a bit of early morning kids television programming for him and go on with my business. He’s usually perfectly content there until I’m done.

Well, this morning, almost right after I sat down, I hear him start calling me, “Daddy, where are you?” “Daddy’s using the washroom, Buddy.” So he walks over to the washroom and pushes the door open (I should probably fix that latch) and asks, “Daddy. What are doing?” “Daddy’s just using the toilet, Little ‘L’.” “Daddy poo?” “Uh, yeah little guy. Daddy poo.” “My see, Daddy?” “No Little ‘L’. You don’t need to see. Little ‘L’, stop it, buddy. You don’t need to see.” “Daddy pooed and peed?” “ Yes, buddy. Daddy pooed and peed. Stop that Little ‘L’.” “My sticker, Daddy?” “No, buddy. You only get a sticker when you poo or pee.” “No. My sticker na pooed and peed Daddy!”

At this point he ran out of the washroom and returned a short time later with a sheet of stickers of characters from the kids show Thomas the Tank Engine, and said, “Pick one Daddy… Daddy pooed and peed an a sticker na pooed and peed!”… exactly like I usually do for him. Little “L” was soooo excited that Daddy just went pottly just like he does.

I chose the Bertie the Bus sticker.
I wore it all day.

  1. THAT IS HYSTERICAL!! I can't stop laughing!!! (why is the picture sideways?)

  2. I know… I kept laughing everytime it popped into my head today. That boy cracks me up. (I rotated it but it still came in sideways… I decided to leave it that way.)

  3. Help me out with something, though: what does "na" mean or translate to? I love that he's still using "my" instead of me or I, though! I always thought that was so adorable! Glad to know you're potty trained.

  4. Glad to know you're potty trained.HA! Yeah… so’s ladyshark. Hee… I’m not entirely sure what “na” means. He throws it in everyonce in a while when he gets excited. I love “my” too. What a cutie.

  5. OMG, so funny…

  6. kids! how funny. what an adorable story.

  7. This would fall under the TMI category if it didn't include Little L in all his cuteness

  8. SOOOO funny. Oh, man. This is absolutely priceless.

  9. I’ve been listening to Little “L” recently and, of course, I knew what “na” meant… he was just using out of order from what he normally does (he’s usually quite accurate with with word placement if not pronounciation). “Na” usually means “in a”, “on a” or “in the”… he was using it today and I knew what he meant him then remembered saying I didn’t.

  10. Ahh! That makes sense! Its so interesting how language skills evolve!
