James has begun his adventure in potty training. I am a bit shocked and slightly relieved, to say the least. Every now and then I ask James his he wants to go to the potty. He usually responds with his own version of the word "potty" and runs into the bathroom. I sit him on he toilet, butt-naked, and wait. He sometimes goes and sometimes doesn't. When he does go, it's usually followed by mommy's "Yeahs!!!" and clapping. He really gets a kick out of that. He flushes the toilet,which is something else he loves to do, and runs with mommy back to the kitchen for a treat. We are excited that he is excited about the toilet.
Last night, while at Memee's house, I asked James if he wanted to go potty. Of course, he took off for the bathroom. Grandparents thought that was cute. But the exciting part is James went poop in the potty for the first time (normally, its just pee). Daddy and mommy were so excited and praising him all night. Funny thing, Clara thinks that if she goes to the bathroom too, that she'll get a special treat as well. This would be fine, except our soon to be 6 year old can do it by herself. So, we've had to come up with other ways that Clara can earn a special treat. I love our kids!
