So, the housebreaking saga continues...  I know he knows what's up now!  So, he squats to poo and he stands w/his legs slightly bent in order to pee.  He does this naturally, and I suspect it will be harder for him to translate that to a toilet, which is presumably not his natural instinct.  But I'm cool with that.  He's been told repeatedly he can do his business "ah-side" or "shower" (yeah, I don't care if he goes in the tub b/c I can clean it up fairly easily there) or "baf-roooom" or "di-dap" (diaper), but he decided that since it was raining, he'd rather pee in the kitchen.  I grabbed him and sent him outside, scolding "NOOOOO!!!!  pee pee OUTSIDE!!!" and as I was cleaning up his pee, I heard him repeat, "nooo... pee pee ah-side... pee pee ah-side.."  But he decided to test me so he did the same exact thing again, while I was on the phone!  Just like 10 mintues later, even!  So, I was really mad, b/c I KNEW he understood.  So, while he was in the bathtub (shortly thereafter) I said, "I need to have a talk with you...  pee pee outside."  He replied, "pee pee shower".  So I said, "Yes, that's ok, pee pee shower, pee pee outside, pee pee potty, pee pee diaper, but NOOOO Pee Pee Kitchen!"  And, I asked him to repeat it.  He said, "Noooo.... pee pee kitchen... pee pee kitchen.. pee pee kitchen..." and he smiled... b/c he'd gotten away with saying 'pee pee kitchen'.  I said, "pee pee kitchen, you go to the CRIB" and he just smiled and said "pee pee kitchen!".  So I had to grab the phone and tell Michael, b/c even if he's being naughty, he's mighty cute!
