Good work, Thomas!

Thomas has been listening intently to our frequent conversations with James about the potty. Now he's putting his ideas into practice -- a few minutes ago he strolled up to me, said "Poop! Pah-tee!" and marched into the bathroom.

He didn't quite have all the details worked out, though; I followed him as soon as I could (I had my hand inside a fish when he made his announcement) and found that he had relieved himself while standing in the middle of the bathroom, lifted the lid of the potty, and shut it on his hand. A good try, though!

We may have to institute a prize for the first kid to be potty-trained.
