Zubin has been potty training in preparation for his coming enrollment in nursery school.  Also, his poop has begun to smell worse than mine so I had to do something about it.  He’s been pretty good at it after some rough starts.  We tried the Pull-Ups but we realized that was a crutch for us when our average for bathroom trips went down to 0.5 per day.  We switched to traditional underwear which is insanely cute at his size.   It’s worked out nicely, we average less than one accident per day.

Recently, I was working with Zubin on a #2 deposit and he said something that made me realize that he would soon achieve the 36th Chamber of waste elimination:

ZUnit: “Daddy shut the door, I’m doing poop”

NYCDad: “What?”

ZUnit: “I need privacy” 

NYCDad: “Ok, (door shutting) now you have privacy, only Daddy and Zubin”

ZUnit: “Where is it?”

NYCDad: “What?”

ZUnit: “Where is the privacy?”

NYCDad: “It’s here, (hand waving, indicating) because we are alone”

ZUnit: “…this is the bathroom”

NYCDad: “Right.”
