If you've never had a toddler...

this is probably the exact kind of thing you don't really care to read about on someone's blog. There. That was my disclaimer. Because I almost titled this entry...

J PEE-PEED ON THE POTTY!!

By himself! He was in the tub, and suddenly he was climbing out saying "I pee-pee, I pee-pee," and lo and behold, he got up on the seat, sat down, and went! Like he'd been doing it his whole life. Then he nonchalantly said, "I done," flushed the toilet, and climbed back in the tub. While I maniacally clapped and shouted, "Good job, baby!" and called frantically for TH to come upstairs lest he miss the momentous occasion. Who knows when it'll happen again (tomorrow? In a few months? On his 3rd birthday?) but it was exciting, let me tell you.

Ok. I'm done. I guess I can cross potty-training off the list of Things I'll Never Obsess About and Then Share With Random Strangers. I never understood the fascination parents have with their kids' elimination habits, until now. It's kind of funny when you think about it. How can I be so excited about J using the potty ONE TIME that I wrote a blog entry about it, but I have yet to comment on the very real possibility of us having a black president soon? Do you see what becoming a parent does to you?!

Anyway it was still pretty cool.
