I‘m a Big Guy. I want to go on the potty." I was amazed and proud: that a twoâ€"yearâ€"old would express without prompting a desire to go on the potty and to thusly become a bonafide Big Guy....Later learned his brother had told him if he peed on the potty, they‘d both get some Smarties.

In honor of Robbie Burns Day and in recognition of the Chisholm‘s Scottish heritage, the Oakville Museum is once again holding its popular afternoon event "A Wee Celebration". Nevertheless, if our boy successâ€" fully completed a toilet trip, we gave him $100. Between trips, as added incentive, we bribed him with variâ€" ous stock options. The strategy worked wonders; almost instantly our son was trained, at home anyway. The problem was (and is), that around our humble home it seems we‘re forever on the go, which leaves precious little time to waste waiting for Mother Nature to call Scottie to the potty. So, as we we‘re flying out the door, I always ask the little man: "Do you have to go before we go?" "No," he always answers, soundâ€" ing sincere. Then, naturally, en route Robbie Burns Day at Oakville Museum Toilet training began in earnest. And, yes, we went the reward route, a method pretty much condemned by childâ€"rearing experts everywhere. based experiences in and for the outâ€" door environment. While Cassidy didn‘t knock the importance of education on many issues, he said curriculum has "walls" of time, willingness and priâ€" ority.

Subsequently, on The Terrible Old Toilet Tour ‘93 (did I mention tâ€"shirts are available?) I‘ve had the pleasure of visiting and revisiting the restrooms in our local grocery store, a donut shop, a drug store, a fastâ€"food restaurant, etc. Honestly, a whole week of manâ€" aging and monitoring dozens of daily toilet trips to toilets about town has been a drain. On the plus side, our boy‘s well on his way to being trained. On the minus, I‘m really feeline rundown. My wife, bless her, says I look flushed. "I‘m somewhat uncomfortable with the statement ‘must be‘," said Cassidy, noting education about AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, physical exercise, family violence, race and ethnocultural equity, "to say nothing about gender and workplace equity". Over the past several years the board has implemented policies on many of the issues, the most recent under study being the gender and workplace equity.
