We can't just let Mommy have all the fun!

Disclaimer: Do not read while eating!

After giving us an eventful Mother's Day morning, Clark didn't want to disappoint for Father's Day!

We made it to church without a hitch, where Evans sang an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL solo. There wasn't a dry eye in the entire church. After church, we headed back to my Mom and Dad's for a cookout with both of our families.

Soon after eating lunch, Clark starting pushing, like REALLY pushing. We decided to wait until he finished his business to put him down for a nap.

Well, he pushed, and pushed, and pushed. For close to an hour.

It became obvious that he was going to need some help, um, getting it out. We tried sitting him on the potty, massaging his tummy, and carrying him around. My Granny went up to her house and brought back some suppositories. I totally felt like a Mom when Granny pulled one out of the bag and I wasn't even going to hesitate to shove it right in. (I didn't have to though, because she took care of that for me! That's why I love her!)

We waited and waited and waited, and still nothing. We decided to go ahead and put him down for his nap, hoping that stretching out and relaxing would help him. He fell asleep and when he woke up 2 hours later, there was still nothing. We could tell by this point that he was completely uncomfortable.

We headed home about 7:00, and as soon as we got him out of his car seat, he started pushing again. We ran him upstairs, stripped off his clothes, and plopped him down on his potty seat. He gripped the handles on the seat and with one push, he got it out! We cheered for him, and were so excited to see that instant relief on his face!

Fast forward 2 days....He started grunting this morning, so I ran him upstairs and put him on the potty again, this time he did a #1 and #2 on his potty. Now, I don't want to jinx us, but I'm kinda hoping for an early potty training. If not, that's fine, too. Who knows though, maybe all this "practice" the last few days will encourage him to use his potty seat more often!
