40 minutes barefoot & poopiness

passion for running category: barefoot running,friends & family,running on Tuesday, September 13 2005

I was tired following yesterday’s run but got out there nonetheless because it was too beautiful not to run.

So, 40 minutes today in my bare feet and I have a new record for the number of strange looks i’ve gotten during a barefoot run – eight. :)

The boy is finally potty training and I have never been happier. I’m sure you are ecstatic for me especially if you’ve gone through this. I tell ya, when your child learns to do #2 in the toilet, the world is a much better place.

Rock on Christopher. Love,
Daddy

Yay for you guys! As a parrent, that’s a big reason to celebrate. Note to self: video Camryn doing the “Poop Victory Dance” before it loses its “coolness”.

Good for you, Mark. Sometimes it’s whatever works–the weather, new shoes, a sweet reward afterward!

Whew, at least it’s not “barefoot IN poopiness” – that would be messy. Yay Christopher! To Infinity, and BEYOND!

Cute boy!

Yes, potty training rocks the world. Number 2 in the toilet is a very big deal to a parent.

Our 3 year old still acts surprised at how much better he feels after doing number 2 in the toilet.

When my son was potty training, he always got asked when he emerged from the bathroom whether he was successful or not and, for some reason, whether he had #1 or #2.

Once when we had a vacuum salesman at our house (don’t ask), he used the bathroom. When he came out, my son asked him “Did you pee or poop?”.

Nothing like torturing the fine people from Kirby.

Heh. Proudest moment of my life was when my wife called me at the office, saying that Jake had taken his first dump in the toilet.

But he hadn’t gone until after he asked “Mommy, can I have something to read first?”

I have a sweet mother in law and she took care of the training, must have been the only reason I moved to New Mexico for a year.
