Poops, peeps, and Kool and the gang

When you were (or perhaps still are) a parent of a young person, did you ever find yourself saying some pretty weird things? I know I did and it usually had something to do with potty time. Well I find that now, as a puppy parent, I have resorted to using terms like “poops and peeps” as part of my everyday language. For example, I will come in from the dog run, praising her for going poops AND peeps, yea! Or I will say something like, “come on Sienna, let’s go outside and poop-poop-sha-poop!” Or singing to the tune of “Ladies night” by Kool and the Gang – “Oh yes, it potty time and the feelings right oh yes, it’s potty time oh potty time.” And then there is the squeal of delight that I exclaim whenever she does her business. For an observer this must be a strange thing but as anyone who has every potty trained a human or animal, success is worth the embarrassment and bizarre behavior!
