I’m gonna get KILLED by my wife when she sees these pictures! She doesn’t want others to see these. And yet, then, why did she take them? So, we started potty training Nathan. Let me rephrase, Kathy’s started potty training Nathan. But that’s part of the problem. Out of our three children, Nathan is our last. We can’t wait to stop buying diapers and wipes after almost 7 years of doing so! But, obviously, Nathan is a boy. So, Nathan is always around the girls (mom and his sisters) and so doesn’t really know how to go peepee and potty like a boy. I have heard stories of other boys growing up with sisters and mom at home and even as a 1st grader, they pee sitting down because they don’t know any better, until they get laughed at in the bathroom by their friends at school/church. My boy is NOT going to be laughed at!

So, everytime I’m home, my wife COMMANDS me to go pee and to make sure Nathan is watching. I have lost my private moments to “take a leak” and there’s always an audience. My wife chases the girls out and leaves Nathan to just STARE in amazement like he’s watching a water fountain. Gross, huh?

So, the line we’ve been using at home is, “Nathan, do you want to still be a baby and use the diaper?” And he ALWAYS screams out, “I’m not a baby anymore!” It cracks us up everytime we hear it, so here it is … Nathan “not baby anymore”:
