Tiny-Brained Wipers of other People's Bottoms

Do you remember that line from Monty Python's 'The Holy Grail'? Where the French knights are hurling insults at King Arthur's knights? "I blow my nose at you... I fart in your general direction..." I always thought that referring to someone as a "tiny-brained wiper of other people's bottoms" was a great insult until I took up potty training for 3-year old twins. :-) Jokes aside, it's gone very well with the exception of the occasional argument over whether or not trying to go is a good idea. Ty has been the more challenging kid in this arena, so we've tried introducing a little diversion to get him in the right frame of mind:


Last thing... and believe me, this is the kind of comment that makes the challenges that come with parenting all worthwhile... after using the bathroom yesterday, Tyler says to me, "I wouldn't poop on you because I love you, daddy." Fantastic. Good to know I'm getting through to him. :-)
