Training continues....for the big and the small

Today after a long day of going to the zoo and a baseball game, I was sitting in my living room with my son and had no idea where my husband went. I called for him and I here a faint "I'm in here" coming from the kitchen. I asked what he was doing and he said I didn't want to know. From that, I knew. He was eating food that he knew I wanted, but couldn't have. So instead of eating in front of me, he knew it would be better to eat where I couldn't see him. What a sweetie.

My son is doing very well with the potty training. Today he told me when he had to go while we were at the zoo, but of course no where near a bathroom, so I took him behind an empty kiosk and he went on the ground. I personally don't think this is horrible. Was it ideal, no, but it worked. He did it again later in the trip, this time right outside the bathroom. We were in the bushes with no one around. I was proud he didn't go in his pants. He's a boy and its easy for him. Later that day when we went to a baseball game, they have all the kids stuff out in left field and absolutely no bathrooms. He told me he had to go and there was no way we would make it to the bathrooms on the other side of the park. So I took him in the back by a chain link fence to go. I thought this was better than in his pants all over the picnic area we were in. When I turned around, I got some horrible looks from two people who must have saw what he was doing. It made me mad a little. Here's a two year old boy trying to do something completely foreign to him and he's actually trying at it. To be looked at as if he had just done the worst thing ever didn't really seem fair. I understand if he was older it could look strange, but he's two years old. He wasn't doing it where anyone would walk or be. Maybe I'm a little bias, but some people need to be a little bit more understanding.
