our potty learning journey

I am AMAZED at how easy this potty learning thing is going for us. We've got the peeing down pat now we just need to "catch" W. before he poops in his undies. He's notorious for doing that.

We spent the morning cleaning the house then for a treat we went to www.cosi.org. We didn't stay long b/c my goal was to tire him out so he would nap today (he's notorious for skipping naps on Saturdays). I was successful!! He fell asleep on the 2 mile trip home. When he wakes up we are going to visit his Uncle and Cousin for a playdate. I hope to get Dad to join us.

a wedding and more pottying!!

We got a chance to celebrate the wedding of Jamie and Chris last night. They had a small private ceremony at Franklin Park and a large reception there afterwards. Sarah O took this family picture of us.















W. always wants to sit on his "own potty" when Mom or Dad uses the big one. He sat on it again yesterday with results!!!

potty day and a haircut

We went to Target today to get a few things and one of those things was a potty chair. W. has been showing signs of "readiness" so I figured having a potty he could actually use would be beneficial to potty learning. We got it out and he sat on it, played with it, and read books about using it. He even talked about it while he was getting his haircut. He calls it his "own potty." Before he got into the bath I told him to sit on the potty while I put his clothes in his hamper in his room. When I got back to the bathroom he had pee'd in the potty!!!!!! He was so proud of himself, and so was I!! I don't plan to rush him, just encourage him.
