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!
