Not sure if we're headed into the real thing, but Sammy peed on the potty. Not a flukey one time, but three times in the last 24 hours.

He's been pretty good about "practicing" (sitting on his potty and hanging out), as well as very interested in when we head into the bathroom. (He'll actually throw a fit if I don't bring him in with me.) Last night we saw him straining and knew he was pooping, so we raced him to his potty. A little poop and a little pee later, he waved bye bye to all of it and went on his merry way. Then, later, I was getting him ready for his bath when he started to wet the changing table. I told him that we pee pee in the potty - scooped him up, sat him on the real toilet and told him it was okay to go - and he did! And just now - I was changing his diaper, figured I'd give it a shot, plopped him on the real toilet again and said, "Ok, go pee pees!" AND HE DID!

I'm not too hung up on the idea of having him trained anytime soon, as I know kids tend to regress with surgery and I don't want to do all this work only to have it unravel next spring. Apparently, though, he's at the age for the first "window" for training, and I figure if we keep a low-profile, low-stress attitude about it, it'll either happen or it won't. But if he's interested, why not? I'm not racing out to buy pull-ups, but I'll play the "let's give it a shot" game and see how it goes.

Eeee. Mama's so proud. :-)
