All week Jeremy has been doing exceptionally well using the toilet. (I can't help but think that he was affected by the uncomfortable scene at the playground a week ago, although I'm not sure whether that's good or bad for his long term psyche.) Tonight when he pooped on the toilet, I told him again how good a job he was doing with learning to use the toilet and pooping. He smiled proudly as usual, but also commented that he "needed to poop on toilet to go to the "Maw-pet 'tool." That's something I said to him on a few occasions, trying to be real matter-of-fact about it, because it really is true: kids have to be potty trained to attend. The amazing part is that he hear it and he understood it very clearly, and perhaps was even motivated by it. School starts Tuesday and he's excited.
