End of Summer

Malcolm,

You are 3!! Oh my, how did the time go so fast?  I can't wait for our party this weekend to celebrate.

It's been a great summer.  Though it was too hot and filled with mosquitoes (and the threat of West Nile), it was still awesome.  Thanks for sharing it with me.

Now, let's get serious for a minute.  I know the potty is a big scary thing and the hole may in-fact look like the gaping maw of a monster.  But I promise it won't bite your ass off.  Please just sit up there.  Diapers are expensive and your daycare is giving me shit about where you shit.  I thought the Mickey Mouse underwear would be the perfect bribe, but apparently your love for the mouse is crushed by your enjoyment of sitting in your own excrement.  Please just think about it.  I'll "encourage"/bribe you with whatever you want.  New bike?  You got it.  Pony?  Sure thing.  Personal visit from Perry the Platypus?  I'll arrange it.  Just so long as I  don't have to clean up poo anymore.  Thanks.
