Potty Training a Future President

Today was the day we decided Miles is ready for moving straight ahead on the "Potty Train."

WARNING: Bathroom talk ahead:
The other day Miles informed us of his need to poop. We encouraged him to do so on the potty, thus beginning our 2 day pooping attempt. He just did not want to go on the potty- but he kept trying- mostly sitting and reading through our entire library. Today, we let him run around naked a bit with the small potty chair in the kitchen if he needed it. So , he yells " I have to poop!" and runs to the kitchen, sits down and goes. Needless to say we went to Target for some cool Elmo and Mickey "Big Boy Underpants" and have decided for now when he is home he will wear those. Not sure he's ready to do this at school (or the teachers), so we will master it at home first.

Also, we're pretty sure we have a budding politician on our hands- here's a few reasons why:

- The other night Phil was having a meeting in the garage and Miles had to go out and shake every single person's;
- Anytime we go out, Miles has to say "hi" to everyone- really, EVERYONE. Some man in the grocery store jokingly asked, "Is he running for President?" Not yet!
- He wants to kiss EVERY baby we see- which can be awkward, but we now can joke- "He's running for office- kissing babies is a good photo op."
