So proud

P has been showing some interest in the potty training front, so for Christmas we got him undies, and a potty watch (I'll post on that more when we officially start training).

About a week and a half ago, while I was giving him a bath and we were talking about using the potty (because toddlers have lots of questions you know) and I said something like, "Do you want to go potty on the big potty like Mommy and Daddy do?" And he said,

"Go potty on big potty - with spiderman seat"

"Oh, so you will go potty if you have a spiderman seat?"

"Yes, Mommy!"

Well, anything to spark interest in the potty . . . I didn't find a Spiderman seat, but a Cars seat instead, and he seemed to like that just fine.

Since we've gotten it he's asked to go potty lots of times, but Wednesday night we had a big moment!

We'll just say he's quite obvious when he has to go #2. He'll usually run to a particular spot in the kitchen to stand, or run to his bedroom, the bathroom, or our bathroom and shut the door ("I pooping Mommy." . . . . ."Are you done yet?" "No, still going. Shut the door please").

Well that night he said "Mommy! Gotta go potty!" So off we went and he sat there for a minute or so. Then he asked for a book and when I came back he was going #2 on the potty. He was SO proud of himself and we made a big deal (lots of clapping, high fives, a sucker and of course we had to call and tell Noni and Poppi).

I wasn't really planning on even thinking about potty training until this summer but if he is interested in it, we'll take little steps. But SOOOOO proud of my little man!
