Potty

I have a short story to share....we bought Caleb a potty this weekend and just wanted him to be familiar with it prior to the potty training process which will hopefully embark around his 2nd birthday. Well, ever since we put it together and put it in the bathroom (since it doubles as a step) he's been particularily interested in sitting on it. Since it's still premature for the process to begin, I just let him sit on it with diapers for as long as he wants to.

The other night, I prepared him for his bath and then left him on his own so that I could run downstairs to get something. When I came up, he was standing next to the potty and he pointed and said "pee pee!". I said...yes, that's where you go pee-pee....but then to my surprise, I opened up the potty and there was indeed pee in there! (For all those non-parents reading, I'm sure that this may not be the most exciting post for you)

I was so amazed that he knew what to do and was able to point it out to me! Alas, we have not had a repeat performance yet but I'm hoping that it's a good sign that he at least knows what the potty is for. Wish us luck! Hopefully the carpet cleaning costs of potty training won't be too great. :P

btw, we thought against taking a picture of this event since it really is just a little gross and wierd to take pics of kids on potties? Maybe this will change later... ;)
