Go Potty Go

Teno just took – by far – the biggest poop anyone has ever taken, ever. I found him behind the couch a few minutes ago and thought the living room was stinkier than usual.
“Poop mama. Poop. Big big! Push! Push a big big poop!”
“Should we change your diaper?”
“OK change diaper.”
I’ll spare you, but I had to send a picture of it to Tony. It was like a soda can made of poop.
Since my last post Teno has become totally obsessed with feminine hygiene products, even insisting that I stick a maxi pad in his diaper a few weeks ago. Today he took apart a tampon (um, unused, of course) and was looking at me through the card board tube. “Hu-woah, mama! See you!” I can generally keep them out of sight, out of mind, but considering I haven’t gone to the bathroom solo in almost three years, he sees things most kids shouldn’t see.
Teno has also developed a hilarious new way of speaking. It’s like Snoop Dogg, only way cuter. He adds extra letters to everything for no reason. Grandma is now Grammet. Uh-oh is now uh-op. It’s secret Teno language that only we understand. And if you ask something like “Are you ready for a bath?” he will answer “no bath!” But if you ask something like “Would you like a marshmallow?” he’ll say “OK marshmallow!”
Well, considering he’s in the other room, sitting on his potty chair, perched upon the couch, watching Go, Potty Go! I should relocate him before Tony gets home and has a total germ freak out. No one lick my couch. Ever.
