Potty Training 101

For a few months now Cole has been asking to sit on the potty. He sits and sits and then says, "I do it later" or "not today Mommy." We praised him every time he tried and reminded him every time we changed his diaper that he wouldn't have to have his diaper changed if he pee peed and pooped in the potty. Well tonight after his bath he finally PEED IN THE POTTY!! He immediately yelled out that he needed to wear his Handy Manny underpants (something we've been promising him) and that he was going to Target to get a new toy (something his friend in Stroller Strides tipped him off about). We did let him wear his underpants over his diaper to bed tonight.


And he got to put a sticker on his new potty chart. I never imagined, before I was a mom, that I'd have a sign on my bathroom wall that says "pee pee" and "poop."
I know we are nowhere near fully potty trained, but at least tonight was a step in the right direction!
