Caleb's potty training goodness

So, we have one funny boy on our hands... this week we started potty training and I wanted to document some of the hilarious things that came out of his mouth. So, the first day, we had started talking about his body and how things work... that his body would give him signals to tell him that he had to pee/poop and that he needed to start "listening" to his body so that he would know when to sit on the potty. And so we were sitting up at the table eating lunch that afternoon, Caleb busts out with "hey mom... my belly is telling me that it doesn't want broccoli, only candy." He's been getting a half a piece of candy each time he sits on the potty, so the first day he wanted to sit on it every 5 minutes, for about 10 seconds, so we had to do a little revising of the candy reward (ah, kids love to keep you on your toes).
Also, every time we've had him sit on the potty when he wasn't in the mood, he uses the excuse that his body told him that he didn't have to go.
i have to give some props to my boy who has been running around with no pants on (except his big boy underwear) for the last 6 days, in 60 degree weather... he is actually getting it down. One time, we tried to have him stand up and pee at the regular toilet one time... when he came out of the bathroom with Steve, he said, "mom... my penis told me it didn't need to pee."
At the beginning, we had some rough times, but thankfully he's getting more and more comfortable with himself... earlier when he was sitting on the potty, he started playing with himself and he said, "mom... I'm pretending it's an elephant"!!!
Aside from the potty training, he has (well, for about a year now) been almost as good as his daddy at quoting movies. I love the randomness of it all, for example, the other night, we were riding home on the bus and Caleb just randomnly, said "leaving broccoli... a vegetable" (complete with the pause for effect), which was a quote from IceAge 3, which is one of their favorites. I could go on and on about all the times he has used quotes at totally appropriate times, but that will have to be another blog. Here are just a couple of examples of how adorable our little boy is, and we are so blessed to be his parents! Love you, Caleb Samuel!!
