Excited for the Potty

You Know You're a Mother When: Cheering For Poop

May 17, 2008

What gets you fired up? I usually cheer upon hearing good news — a family member gets engaged, a friend is pregnant or my sister buys a house. I also tend to lose my mind during certain sporting events, but I never thought I'd be jumping up and down when it came to the porcelain bowl.

The first time my sweetheart made a deposit to the toilet, I felt like a potty training mascot! I yelled, clapped and rooted her along as she made another step through childhood.

I knew I was a mother when I invented a potty dance.

anniekim! You are too funny. I don't have video of it though I probably should. You'll just have to use your imagination.

I work at a Child Care Center with 2 year olds and all the teachers ( normally 3 of us) clap and cheer when one of our kids uses the potty. I could just be relief of not having to change yet another dirty diaper though! ;)

aw! lol this reminds me of the episode of Jon & Kate plus eight -- when one of the little boys potties in the potty chair and she gets excited and tells all the other kids :)
