Oliver has really taken to the potty of late, much to the delight and chagrin of his parents. Obviously, we are thrilled to see how every night he enjoys his time on the potty, so proudly stepping back and pointing out his achievements to all of his family members. He doesn't even seem to be as swayed by the treats as he once was, he is just as happy to bask in the kudos and adulation we all give him when he completes his task. We are so proud of the progress he has made, in fact on a few occasions he has even told us he needed to go, a real breakthough for someone who hasn't reached two yet! The problem we have encountered is that once the potty comes out, the next hour is a total write-off. Oliver will stretch his business out into multiple stages, often requiring numerous trips to the toilet to empty his deposits. One night he had six separate such occasions in the span of an hour. After each clearance, he just gets back on the potty and goes again. For a boy who eats only his regular 3 meals a day, we don't even know where all this output is coming from! Our evenings have turned into the following: get home from work, make dinner, eat dinner, Oliver potty time for an hour, bathtime and bed. We admire both his dedication and his eagerness, just condense it a bit, dude!
