    We are in that toilet training phase with Benjamin and he’s doing great. He announces his intention (usually), goes into the bathroom (usually), and does his business. Of course, we have a little potty for him. His aim is horrendous, but slowly improving.

    Lately, he has been opting for the full-size grown-up toilet. In general, I view this as positive; he has apparently figured out on his own that everybody else does their business in the big toilet, so he ought to do it there, too. Excellent.

    However….

    He’s not quite tall enough. So the poor kid’s little pee pee can’t get over the rim and point down into the bowl. Instead, we get a vertical spray that occasionally launches forward, but never even gets close to the bowl.

    Ai yai yai…

    Benjamin still seems to be a bit far away from using the potty. But one encouraging episode occurred this morning when he grabbed his (mysteriously semi-erect) honker and sprayed back-and-forth across the kitchen floor. A bit of manual control as a prelude to actually targetting the toilet/potty. Woo hoo!
