Number 2!

We've been working pretty casually on potty training for a while now and Cloosty's done really well. A lot of times he'll ask to sit on the potty and do nothing but stuff toilet paper in the bowl *sigh*. Lately, though, he's been performing almost regularly (at least once in the evening at home) and his teachers say that he enjoys sitting on the potty at school, but hasn't done anything for them yet.

Christopher was sick over the weekend (Thursday - Saturday) so he got to spend a lot of time with me. I picked him up from school around lunch time (had a fever), gave him some medicine and sent him off to take a nap. Afterwards, we were playing in his room when he had some gas. He looked at me and said, "Poo poo." I perked up. "Do you want to go sit on the potty?" He nodded yes (a new trick for him) and off we went.

He sat there for about 5 minutes while we talked and played peek-a-boo when he got "the look" on his face and TA-DA! Poopie! We cheered, clapped, did high 5's and so forth. He was very happy and proud of himself. What a big boy!

Of course, he hasn't done this since, but we'll continue to work on it. :)
