Diversity Amongst Happy Faces

This is the "Potty Chart" that is displayed on our refrigerator. Every day that Noah does not have an accident, he gets a happy face. When the chart is full of happy faces, he gets a "Henry" train. The big X on the chart is a result of the stained chonies day and will be made up once all the other happy faces are filled in.
As you can see, the happy faces all looked the same up until the two and a half week mark. All of a sudden we have a curly haired happy face, a goatee mohawked happy face, a happy face of Asian descent, and a flat topped bully looking happy face. Ricky felt that my happy faces were not diverse enough and therefore not sending the right message to our children. So, I am no longer allowed to draw the happy faces because apparently I am not promoting diversity on the potty chart.
