Zubin Update: Potty Training
Posted on 07.20.07 by joy @ 3.08pm

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.”

  1. That’s hilarious. I remember once my nephew (age 3) needed to go the bathroom, so my sister asked me to take him, probably not thinking about the fact that at the time I had absolutely no experience with kids, let alone any idea of how to assist a three-year-old in going #2.

    Anyway, everything turned out okay. We got into the bathroom stall, and my little nephew gave me step-by-step instructions on what to do. If I remember right, he even told me when to lift him onto the toilet and when to flush.

    Hey, we got the job done!

  2. Dear Jay,

    I’m sending you this follow up email and link to Bashed! the ABC’s of Party Planning because I think you’ll be interested in it. It’s a great one day event being held in NYC on October 28th with live music, food, seminars and a massage or two for parents to learn about party planning and gain valuable contacts and information from party vendors. Check it out here - www.bashednyc.com .

    We at Bashed would love to work with you in a blogging capacity or more. Please contact me to discuss.

    Regards,
