Nick Goes Potty!!!

Yes, Nicholas has finally done it!!  He went pee pee on the potty!!!  HURRAH!!!!!

Last week, out of desperation I went online and bought a "potty book" along with some computer preschool software for his birthday.  He'll be THREE the first weekend of November, and yes--the pressure is on..  WILL HE BE TOILET TRAINED before he is 3?!? 

Well, "the potty book" came today, and I read it to him after he took his bath.  He was very interested in the book as I read it.  After we were done reading, I asked him where his potty was.  He got off my lap, still nude from his bath, and proceeded to go into the closet in search of his potty.  It was a little hard at first because the potty was sitting right underneath his SpongeBob tent, but he managed to get it out. 

After getting to know his potty, and taking it apart, and putting the "pee guard" up (the little boy device to prevent unwanted squirts--which really doesn't work very well, and pops off constantly) he got comfortable on his potty, but not before he got a few books.  He must have remembered the little boy in the book reading on the potty. 

I was not expecting anything to happen at his point.  He just seemed happy sitting there in the nude, on his plastic potty reading his Winne the Pooh book, when suddenly, I hear the twinkling sound of liquid hitting the hollow plastic cup under his potty!  

"Mommy, I'm going potty!"

Oh JOY!!!  You don't know how long I've been waiting for this!!!

Boy, that  brings back memories. I potty trained my kids wth the book "I Have to Go" Little Grover( of Sesame Street) was the prime character in this classic. By the time Kelly was getting potty trained, Tommy was old enough to pee standing up, so Kelly wanted to pee standing up, too.
