JOE POOPED ON A POTTY!

Actually, Fans, he has now pooped on TWO potties. (Do you need to change your underwear?!)

When we arrived to pick the bambini up on Friday, we were told that Joe had had a few accidents.* After a round of "Well, we didn't expect perfection on the first day," we were told he'd pooped on the potty in the morning. !!!!! Talk about burying the lead! On the way home, we stopped again for celebratory cupcakes, this time at Target, where Mr. Super Pooper Trooper asked if we could eat at the cafe.**

When we got home, Joe peed on OUR potty! As previously, he'd only "performed" at school, we had been wondering how the weekend at home was going to go down. Whoops of joy probably could have been heard at Graham's new house, let alone his old one two blocks away.

But Fans, there is still MORE! Joe peed on the potty at Little Gym! And then at home! And then, tonight, he peed AND POOPED ON OUR POTTY!

We are not all systems go in that often, a success is preceded by several false alarms if you will, and he had an accident during nap. We expected this given how hard Our Hero sleeps, and how long he sleeps at home on weekends in comparison to the regular length of a nap at school.

Oh but Fans, what a thing. In his Big Boy Underwear, and on the potty, he looks so big, and so small, both, at the same time.

*A few accidents resulted in his sporting snow boots, of two different sizes, and both right foot shoes. This is how we learned that spare underwear and shorts are not enough. And so we will be purchasing a second pair of shoes for Joe to wear in the event of accidents. (At least he was put in the spare long pants that were in his cubby with the snow boots, instead of shorts. So he didn't look completely ridiculous.)

**He is rather taken with the cafe, especially after having had lemonade with Ted in it last weekend. Julie understands. She has many, many fond memories of dining at the Target cafe with her grandparents when she was younger.

It is also worth mentioning that when Julie referred to Joe as a Super Pooper Trooper, he told her that he was only a Pooper. Indeed. (But super, too.)
