Not sure if I've mentioned this on here but mj is boycotting the potty!! Can I please vent for a second? I know that he's only 17 months and that most kids don't potty train until way later. But he has had a potty since he was 4 months old! And he's consistently pooped on it since he was 6 months. I've never had to wash these nasty poopy diapers. And I don't like it! He seems to be flushing the virus from a couple of weeks ago and thats causing especially nasty ones. Ugh!
Hoping that this phase doesn't last long because I am not enjoying it.

A fb friend of mine just had a little boy. Today he went in for his circumcision. There were many comments on the subject. I wanted to share my own thoughts but since this little guy has already gone through it I felt like it would just make someone upset.
According to the comments my son isn't a "big boy", he will have an unhappy and not handsome penis, and won't thank me later because he will have "a funny looking peepee". All because I chose to not have a doctor cut off the most sensitive part of a fairly important (as opposed to the unimportant) area on his body.
I was a little offended and wanted to go on a bit of a rant but I realized that they are probably uneducated on the subject. Heck, I even had the circ scheduled and ready to go until the night before the appointment. I just couldn't do that to him.
And one of the commenters talked about having to leave the building because she couldn't listen to her son scream during the procedure. But then her doctor told her that it really didn't hurt him, boys only cry because they're legs are being tied down and they don't like it.
Ugh!
Sure he won't remember it when he's older but he wouldn't remember if you cut off his thumb but he might miss it.
And to top it off, she had to take him to the er today because he was bleeding too much. How is that ok!?
Moral of the story? Do your research.
I'll step off my soap box now. I have some pictures to upload :)
