We have a rule in our house. The rule is: you only poop in the big toilet. Pee? Well, for three year olds... while it's not preferred, it is acceptable to go in the "little toilet." So I'm sitting at my computer at the dining room table and I glance in to Steele in the bathroom on the little toilet. After hearing a couple of big exhales from him I say, "Are you pooping on the little toilet?"
From Steele: Ohh Noooooo....... as if it just happened to him and he had no choosing whatsoever in the matter.
So he gets up and, with his jammy bottoms around his ankles, waddles his way penguin-style over to the big toilet. To finish, I guess.
When he calls me in to wipe him I glance at the little toilet and all that's left in there are a couple smears. So I say, "Did you dump your poo?"
From Steele: Yah. I did. I dumped it for you, Mama.
Thanks for that, son.
As I begin cleaning up the little toilet I hear this...
From Steele: Hey! Where'd my underwear go?!?!
Only a three year old. I sure am glad the chances are pretty slim that I'll lose my underwear when I go the bathroom.
While I'm here, this subject leads me to another favorite.
Kirkland Household Surface Wipes
I think I've mentioned before that, while I'm not too keen on using tons of chemicals, sometimes you just have to learn to live with the carcinogens. Especially if they come in the form of these babies. (Disclaimer: I have no idea if these contain carcinogens. I just thought it sounded funny)
I have these things all over the house and my absolute favorite use for them is on the "little toilet." A couple wipes after use and they're good to go for another round. They also work great for middle o' the night pee spraying incidents. (again, only 3 year olds) I have them in the kitchen for wiping down Adia's booster seat after a meal, or giving the counter tops a quick wipe-down. I think they've even cleaned dog puke off our wood floors. And the best part is that I actually prefer the Kirkland ones over their Lysol counterpart.
a) They're cheaper
b) They smell better
c) They have a cool "scrubbing" side that actually works
d) They're cheaper

You have been on my mind sooo much lately! Good thing Steele is keeping you going as only a 3 year old boy can!! I know that Ryan cracks me up on a daily basis.
The wipes? I am a huge fan. I use the Lysol ones, but pretty much any wipe floats my boat cause they are so easy to use/ quick.
Any updates on baby???? I am checking your blog like a freak looking for updates.
XOXO,
Sarah
I'll have to pick some up on my next Costco trip. I got the glass cleaner and love it!
Steele stories crack me up. I hope he found his underwear!
So, Cutzi, he found the underwear?
(He didn't flush it, did he?)
Gunnar lost a shoe once. He couldn't remember if he walked home from the neighbor's wearing one shoe or two. You'd think that would be something you'd notice, but for a little boy? Not so much.

Whenever Gabe can't find something, I make it a habit to look "up". You do know that boys and "throwing" go together? I find socks suspended in the strangest places.
Oh my gosh. I was laughing out loud at your Steele story. That boy is a riot!
And at the word "carcinogen". Ha haaaaa!
