He Did It!

Big brother Jace got Ethan to poop on the potty today! When asked how he did it he just said “I told him he is not pooping in a diaper or outside – it is on the potty or not at all.” We suspect big brother may have been motivated by selfish reasons to demand his little brother poop on the potty and not in his usual spots. But, really, what teenage boy wants to wipe poop off a three year old’s butt even if it is your brother? I know Jace didn’t relish following Ethan around with a baggy in the yard either – he doesn’t even like picking up after the dog. In this case, selfishness triumphs over evil (okay, that is a little dramatic). Whether a miracle or the result of brotherly shame for us it means the end of diapers, pooping in the grass and picking it up with baggies.

This is a momentous occasion deserving of celebration with cookies and milk – and maybe ice cream too!
