A few minutes after this picture was taken, the elephant let out a few big sh!ts and then doused the floor with his pachyderm-piss. Although the elephant's peenix was HUNG nearly touching the floor, and all the parents were looking away uncomfortably and talking about the weather - I thought this would be a GREAT time for some potty-training re-inforcement (since I'm delighted to announce that Diego has finally acknowledged that thing called a potty!)
"Look at that crazy elephant!" I yelled. "He's going Pee-Pee and Caca! Someone tell that crazy elephant that he needs to use the bathroom if he needs to go pee-pee and caca! Right Diego?"
"Right!"
Reinforcement success. Another win for mama!
The other parents at the zoo should have been glad that I helped re-inforce potty-training basics. More-over they should thank their lucky stars I'm not at the "birds & the bees" stage where I'd need to teach Diego about elephants with ginormous peenixes.

P.S. This was the first outing where Diego went caca in the toilet while we were out! Was that TMI? Ok, that was too much. I get it.....
