A picture is worth a thousand words. 

No pictures please

We are trying to make headway with the potty training and J has been showing interest which is important. He watches me stand at the urinal and wonders what's happening, he watches me on the pot and knows to hold his nose. But today he made serious progress. Now don't go and tell the neighbors, but this afternoon, he was running across the pool deck, back and forth, back and forth totally naked as he always does. Periodically stopping, spreading his legs and taking a wee. What we didn't expect twice was a slight squat and then to see poo start to oozing from his bum. Now to give the little guy credit, he was a bit bunged up, not having shat for two days. But right there, for no one but mummy and me to see, he squatted and pushed one out.

I Immediately grab him, confused as to where to go, ran him over to the wall to hang his bum over the side but thought he might shit on the neighbors balcony directly below. So I tried to stick his ass in a potted plant but realized he didn't fit through the branches. Finally the misses says, take him to the bathroom and sit him on the pot. Duh! So I run him to the bathroom, shit still poking out like a turtle's head, stick his bare butt on the pot and he drops his first turd burger in the bowl.

Little did I know later he would actually lay a full log alongside the pool and we would again be heading to the pot with the remaining turtle poo sticking out. 

Overall a very successful potty training day for the Josh-man. 

We're getting there mate. 

A rainy day in Bangkok, think I'll go for a walk.

What do you do at the age of 19 mos and you have a rainy day?  Why not throw your pants off and your gum-boots on, grab your new tricycle and head out for an icy pop and a bit of fresh coconut. Ahh, the day is complete!

Josh's Trip down under

Once again we headed down to Sydney for a little break from the heat and to have a little Mars and Pa time for the J-man.  Here are a few pics and vids of his time down under.

Josh flies his first plane

Don't be confused, Josh is not riding on his first plane, he has about 150,000 miles under his belt at  the ripe old age of 18 mos. This is his newest toy from Mars and Pa. His very own remote control airplane.

Who dat?

One of Josh's favorite places to hang is the Siam Ocean World at Siam Paragon. He knows it inside and out. You've seen pics of the big cuddly manta ray walking about and Josh giving him a hug. Well, now he is all about the divers. He could watch them all day.  

He also decided to join a random school group today as they made their way through. No worries or fears at all. 

First important word

Naturally Josh's first words were Mama and Dada. But what would his third word be?  Something significant?  Something simple?  How about Scissors!  Yes, Scissors.  Of course this was said with a mouth full of cookies.

To listen.
