Potty report #1

I can honestly say we had NOTHING to do with this one.

The other day I was at a friends house and we were talking about potty training and how we were dreading the idea as the video Elmo Goes Potty was playing as background noise. I said because of who Sam is, I was going to let him drive this milestone. Well, out of the clear blue this morning he came to me and said, "mommy, go poppy on the potty". So, we walked to the bathroom and there he sat. NOW...we did get him a little Bob the Builder child toilet seat that sits on top of our toilet. When we purchased it, about 6 months ago (with wishful thinking) he loved Bob the Builder, but was deathly afraid to sit on it.

Today, totally different story. So, as I was sitting there on the ground with Matthew, I heard it!!!! Sam went pee pee and poo poo on the toilet with GREAT enthusiasm. I had to just laugh as this 1st time session lasted for about 25 minutes and in between doing his 'business' he would whistle and sing just like Elmo did in the video. I think I scared Matthew with my excitement!!!

So, just before I put the boys down for nap I asked Sam if he needed to go and he said "yes mommy". Sure enough, he went again and again, I scared Matthew!!! When I was changing Matthews diaper Sam stated, "mommy, diapers are for Matthew!"

(Is this really happening?)

stay tuned....
