about

In the late summer of 2018, when my son was about to turn 2, I began obsessing about potty training. A fellow mom recommended a book on the subject and I bought two copies (one for me and one for my husband and nanny to read) and I read it cover to cover and dutifully took notes. I had a plan! I was going to make this work! Wrong. That first round was horrible. I spent a great deal of time with a crying child and constantly wiping up puddles of pee with beach towels. I remember being so worn out and frustrated. It was a late afternoon that summer – I was giving my son a bath and he seemed pretty happy. And he began singing this little tune – “I Do, I Do.” I remember just lying on the floor with my feet propped up on the bathtub, half my body sticking out into our hallway. I was done. But, at least my kid is cute and we have this song. We finally got the hang of potty training the following Christmas break, but weren’t out of pullups at night until 2020 sometime (I forget) and now we are still working on full independence. Let’s just say it ain’t a three-day process. Don’t believe anyone who tells you that!

lyrics

I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do

My kid’s first song
And it goes like this
I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
Can’t you see he’s brilliant?
Yes, I think so too

I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
After a failed day of potty training
I guess he got inspired
Tired of all the questions – Do you have to go?
I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
But he wouldn’t or he couldn’t
No, No, No
The pee and the poo
Were all on the floor
But at least we have this song
So, let’s sing some more

Hey, Kid! What d’ya say?

I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do
We Do, We Do, We Do, We Do
I Do, I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do

I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do
