Baby Steps

I'm not ready for this but B is taking steps towards potty training. He has been asking to sit on the potty again. He has only used it "by accident", but he enjoys sitting naked as a jaybird watching Noggin. And yes, you have to be totally unclothed to sit on the potty.

The "by accident" was only true until this week. On Wednesday I noticed when he got up from breakfast that his diaper was dry. I asked him if he wanted to sit on the potty. Lo and behold, he went pee-pee. We cheered and flushed and cheered some more. He insisted on sitting down again and he went again, then again, then again and then he stood up and peed on the floor. He has repeated his success (minus the floor incident) the past two mornings.

Since we're headed down this road, I'm teaching him to pull up and down his pants, one of the most essentials tasks of learning to go potty. It is funny. He grunts like a weightlifter when he tries to get his shorts up over his diaper!
