pOtTy progress

Isaac hasn't had a big desire to use the bathroom. After many unique and fun attempts to get him to use the toilet (two different potty seats, treats, examples, kid books, etc) I realized that this is a battle I will not force. When he is ready, he WILL do it. He is smart and resourceful and stubborn.

I was making dinner and Matt was coming in from outside yard work when our son came around the corner and quietly said, "I need to go potty."

I looked at Matt and questioned, "What did he say?!"

I ran Isaac into the bathroom and there was a tiny amount of #2 (so he started and stopped himself--very big!) I sat him on the toilet and went to his room to get another diaper. Before I could make it back I heard my son yell proudly, "I did it! I did it! I went pee and poop on the potty!!"

And he did!

I gave him a handful of marshmallows and made a sticker chart to encourage him. He has been 'successful' a number of times now and I made him a sticker chart so he can see how well he is doing.

We are so proud of his little accomplishment, whatever it may mean.

Not toilet trained yet but on our way!
