celebrate diaper pee pee-pee potty

February 23, 2011

Yeah! What a day! Cole and I had a good day today. But the big news came this evening. It’s been weeks since he has wanted to sit on his potty chair. Tonight he wanted to – and without his diaper! He sat there while we read stories for about 20 minutes, but nothing happened (despite my pushing the sippy cup!). Finally he got tired, wanted his diaper back on and we sat on the bed reading stories. About a half an hour later, he jumped off the bed, sat on the potty chair and was pulling at his diaper.
“Do you want your diaper off?”
“Uh huh”
“Ok”
We then began to read a story and within 30 seconds or so…the potty chair began to sing! This was huge! He had been very intentional about going to sit there, very intentional about wanting the diaper off. It was a FULL pee also, not just a drip. What a moment! We called Daddy in to celebrate with us!

hair cut pee-pee potty

January 19, 2011

What a big day! Cole woke up this morning early – and fussy. We did get ourselves together, go to Great Play, then on to a haircut. Thank goodness for the IPad which keeps him mostly entertained. After the cut, we did Story Time at the Library, then home for lunch. He’s getting so much better about playing on his own as well. After lunch he got down on the floor with his blocks and trains and played for 20 minutes or so. Yeah! Then upstairs for stories and nap.

And the exciting part. When we got in his room he wanted to take his diaper off and sit on his potty chair (like Max in his story book). So, off came the diaper. He then picked up his bead-sorter toy and was holding it on his lap playing with it – so cute! I quick ran downstairs for the phone (camera). When I got back up stairs, he had a strange look on his face and immediately stood up. He’d gone pee-pee in the potty! It was obvious he didn’t mean to and was feeling quite chagrined about it all. But YEAH! I cheered and hugged and high-fived! We called Daddy to celebrate the good news. (Meanwhile he is shaking his head “no, no, no.”). When I got off the phone, he lay on the ground and wanted a diaper put on. So – we’ll see. But it’s a first step!
