Cactus Cody, a small brave cowboy in big brown boots and a tall tan cowboy hat, stands smiling with his hands on his hips, wearing a red bandana and blue jeans with a shiny belt buckle. In the background, a sunny dusty desert ranch with a bright red barn and big blue skies with puffy white clouds.

Cactus Cody put on his big brown boots. He put on his tall cowboy hat. Today was a big day at the ranch! The sun was warm. The sky was blue. And the spotted horses were waiting.

Nessie Sparkles, a curious shimmering green Loch Ness Monster with sparkly scales, a long neck, big friendly purple eyes, and a wide happy smile, peeks over the wooden fence of the corral. In the background, a friendly corral full of spotted horses and dusty desert ground under bright sunshine.

But wait — who was that by the corral? It was his friend Nessie Sparkles! She was big and shimmery and green. Her scales sparkled like glitter in the sun. "Howdy, Cody!" she said. "Let's go explore!"

Cactus Cody, a small brave cowboy in a tall tan cowboy hat, red bandana, and big brown boots, rides happily on a brown-and-white spotted horse trotting through dusty ground. In the background, puffy white clouds with silly wiggly smiles drift across a big blue sky.

Cactus Cody climbed up on a spotted horse. Clip-clop, clip-clop! The horse trotted around the corral. The warm breeze blew. The puffy white clouds wiggled and giggled up above. What a fun day!

Cactus Cody, a small brave cowboy in a tall tan cowboy hat and red bandana, squirms and wiggles on top of a brown-and-white spotted horse, his face scrunched up with a funny expression. In the background, the dusty corral with wooden fences and the bright red barn.

Then Cody felt something. A funny wiggly feeling in his tummy. He did a little squirmy dance on the horse. Wiggle, wiggle, squirm! "Hmm," said Cody. "I do not want to stop. I am having too much fun!"

Nessie Sparkles, a shimmering green Loch Ness Monster with sparkly scales and big friendly purple eyes, leans her long neck close, looking helpful and cheerful with one flipper raised. In the background, a cheerful little yellow outhouse with a green cactus painted on its door, sitting in the dusty desert.

Nessie Sparkles saw Cody wiggle. She knew that dance! "Cody!" she said. "Your body is telling you something. That wiggly feeling means you need to go potty! Stop what you are doing and tell a grown-up. Then hurry to the potty!"

A cheerful little yellow outhouse with a bright green cactus painted on its small wooden door, sitting in the dusty sand with the door slightly open and a warm glow inside. In the background, the bright red barn and corral fences under a big blue sky.

Cody hopped off the horse. He ran to a grown-up. "I need to go potty!" he said. Then he hurried to the little yellow outhouse with the cactus on the door. He made it just in time! "Phew!" said Cody.

Cactus Cody, a small brave cowboy in a tall tan cowboy hat, red bandana, and big brown boots, gallops joyfully on a brown-and-white spotted horse, kicking up little puffs of golden dust. In the background, Nessie Sparkles' shimmering green shape races alongside near the corral fence.

Cody washed his hands and ran back to play. He climbed up on the spotted horse again. Clip-clop, clip-clop! He and Nessie Sparkles raced around the ranch. The dust went poof! The wind smelled like warm sand and hay.

Cactus Cody, a small brave cowboy in a tall tan cowboy hat and red bandana, squirms uncomfortably on a brown-and-white spotted horse, biting his lip with his legs crossed tight. In the background, the dusty desert ranch with tumbleweeds and the bright red barn.

Then — uh-oh! That wiggly feeling came back. Wiggle, wiggle, squirm! Cody did the squirmy dance again. "Not now!" said Cody. "We are having the best race!" He kept riding. He waited and waited.

Nessie Sparkles, a shimmering green Loch Ness Monster with sparkly scales and big friendly purple eyes, calls out with her mouth open wide, her long neck stretched tall and her flippers waving. In the background, puffy white clouds with silly wiggly smiles in a big blue sky above the dusty ranch.

"Cody!" called Nessie Sparkles. "Remember — when you feel the wiggle, do not wait! Your body is talking to you. Listen to it right away!" Cody's eyes got big. She was right! He hopped off the horse fast, fast, fast!

A pair of big brown cowboy boots stomping on a wooden plank floor, with the bright green cactus painted door of the cheerful little yellow outhouse visible beside them. In the background, warm golden sunlight streaming in through the open outhouse doorway.

Cody ran to a grown-up. "I need to go potty NOW!" he said. Then he ran to the little yellow outhouse with the cactus on the door. He pulled open the door — and made it! All by himself! His boots went stomp, stomp on the wooden floor.

Cactus Cody, a small brave cowboy in a tall tan cowboy hat, red bandana, and big brown boots, leaps in the air with both arms raised in a big happy yeehaw celebration, grinning wide. In the background, the cheerful little yellow outhouse with a green cactus on the door and the bright red barn under puffy white giggling clouds.

Cody washed his hands and burst outside. "YEEHAW!" he shouted. He did a happy cowboy dance. Nessie Sparkles clapped her shimmery flippers. The puffy clouds giggled in the breeze. "I did it!" said Cody. "And now I can go right back to riding!"

Cactus Cody, a small brave cowboy in a tall tan cowboy hat and red bandana, gently pats the nose of a brown-and-white spotted horse, both of them looking peaceful and content. In the background, a glowing pink and orange desert sunset behind the bright red barn, with Nessie Sparkles' shimmering green silhouette resting near the corral.

The sun began to set. The sky turned pink and orange. Cody patted his spotted horse goodnight. "Tomorrow I will listen to my body again," he said softly. "Every day it gets a little easier." Nessie Sparkles smiled. Tomorrow there would be more horses to ride, more dust to kick up, and more adventures to have — one potty trip at a time.
