MJ is a successfully potty trained boy at 2.5 years. Although he has to be ushered into the bathroom to poop [after quietly scrunching over in a corner], he is about 100%. He has a problem with holding it in so he can play or do whatever is more interesting [than pooping].

He has been doing this thing lately where he says he has to go potty right before getting in the bath tub. He pees, then says “im not finished!” After sitting there for a couple minutes, playing around, I have to coax his little but off of the toilet to get in the tub. Night after night, he pulls this same routine, so since I caught on, I put him in the tub right away. Last night, he did the same thing, accept for he wasn’t doing the usual playing around, like grabbing his toes, unraveling the toilet paper, tapping on his pee pee, etc… He was in concentration mode. I started folding clothes in his room to give him time and privacy. 5 minutes later, I asked him if he was done. “No, not finished yet!”, he yells. So I move on, clean up some odds and ends around the room, cut off a hang nail, and as soon as I walked back in at the 4 minute mark, there was the hugest plop into the toilet that sounded like a crashing wave! This was the hugest turd I had ever seen in my entire life. Seriously, I believe that no man, bear, lion or horse has ever had a turd this size…. and my baby is only two!

He looked so relieved… He saw it and laughed! And I plunged….

4 flushes later, the inside of the toilet was a disaster. I thought about taking a photo, but i’d rather not remember the stench, sweat and fight I put into this one!

To realize the magnitute of this disaster, do the following: take a ruler and look at it up to the 9 inch mark… NO KIDDING! Then, mix chocolate sauce with flour for thickness and smear it all over this inside of your toilet… Ok, please don’t really do this, but you get the idea!
