Potty Talk

Jayas relationship with the bathroom and the business done within has been complicated. The fact that he was still pooping in his pants when he was old enough to take off his underwear, dump the poop in the toilet, flush, and go get himself new underwear illustrates this clearly enough. And as fabulous as it is that he is potty-trained, we have one final hurdle left to clear: the Toilets That Make Different Noises When They Flush. These include any toilets outside of our house, Grammys house, Auntie & Uncles house, and any hotel toilets, and those are included only because it is impossible to hold your business in during an entire vacation. They are still suspect.
With 2 months of PreK left, I am feeling the pressure on to surmount this last obstacle. Having an accident in PreK is one thing, Kindergarten is another. So I have been sitting down with Jaya for extended discussions of the workings of plumbing, why the flush must flush, and why we don't need to be scared of noises, and how there is not the slightest possibility that anyone or anything his size could ever fit down a toilet, regardless of how powerful the flush. When this does not make an impression, I promise an ice cream of any kind, any size, from Crazy Jaynes, Ben & Jerrys, or Friendlys, his choice., if he will only use the school toilet. Extra jimmies. Still not making any headway.
