We went tot he Zoo!!!

So we decided sense the his school teacher wants to do a field trip this new school year to do a test run and go the Zoo our selfs first. And let me tell you I though we were going to have to rent a cart, we thought it was going to be a horrific and screaming experience. But to our wonderful surprise his natural curiosity came out and he wanted to look at anything and everything, he loved the fishes and the big tanks:
He loved the loved the Seal and her tricks, he enjoyed that very much.
We even had issues taking him away from there cause he enjoyed it so much. He looked at the turtles:
All in all, we had a great day, we walked the whole entire park for 2 hours, he never complained about being tired, ever, we even got on a carousel at the end of the park ... twice! we made him watch first just in case and he wanted to do it so we did it. He never cease to amaze me...

Potty Training at 6....

Now I knew this was going to be challenging, just like everything else he achieves, a challenge that its a necessity so the rest of the world doesn't look at him like a if he was going to die a horrible and painful death and am just prolonging it ..... yeah that is how I got looked at the doctors the last time.... don't wanna go into it cause its all negative and i don't need that... so it started as how I expected it, screaming, fighting, more screaming, and a lot more fighting.... it was really hard, dragging him to the toilet, making him sit there, we got to sit there 10 to 20 minutes after being pumped up with milk so he can "go"... not just sitting, but screaming and constantly telling him to stay put, to sit down and we both ending up tired and just plain angry, after 20 minutes and lots of screaming and crying, he would just quietly go and that would be the end of it..... and I would just end up looking and feeling like the horrible bitch of the south .... anyways, after four days and with prompting, he goes just fine, of course you have to let him know he has to go, otherwise he would just go on himself... now he he can go between 40 min to an hour without having to go. So HEY! this horrible bitch of the south actually got him to do it in 4 freaking days!!!! YAY!!!!! am actually excited for me and him, him cause eventually he will be able to just go to the park and not have kids stare at him or hurry away cause he went in his diaper... and me because I fucking made it without a fucking cigarette!!!!!! ok just half a cig but still is an accomplishment for a smoker....
Anyways, we still have a long way to go, he only does #1 he is too weird out for #2 still, which is fine, i wasn't expecting a miracle here... am realistic  and a i know when to push and when not to... anyways, we made a break through, and the plus of all this, he sleeps like the dead, for some reason all this going to the bathroom just makes him tired lol.
