Day 60 -- Kratos POOPS AND PEES!!

Today, Kratos has pooped, peed, and done everything imaginable to the toilet!

Yesterday I was worried that he did not take his daily dump. I came home today, expecting to clean up a big pile from the carpet, but found nothing. Relieved, I gave Kratos some food, and waited.

My patience was amply rewarded! Right after eating, he stepped onto the toilet, and peed.



It was excellent! But he still had not pooped yet. He went out for a little more food, and then came back into the bathroom. He jumped onto the seat, and gave pooping a good try:



Okay, it didn't work. Yet. He wandered around the bathroom, snuggled with my legs, and finally went back onto the toilet. This time, SUCCESS!!


WOW!

I'll be carefully monitoring him for the next few days to make sure that he can poop and pee (and drink) without fear. It was a little worrisome today when he pooped -- he kept shifting his weight on the seat and looked a little uncomfortable. And it still takes too many tries before he could poop or pee. Hopefully, though, he will grow comfortable with the action, as well as his newly elevated place in the world among enlightened beings.

This has been a long and frustrating 60 days -- but the look on Kratos' face as he crouches over the toilet seat, squeezing out every last bit, makes it all worthwhile! Next milestone: Kratos uses the toilet without me in the bathroom!
