Oh Potty!…here we come!

Charlie had his first poop in the potty today! ( I mention it here because it is the first bodily substance he has volitionally transferred to that great ceramic bowl we all take for granted)  He was greatly inspired by his friend Jackson who was over to play this morning and was the first boy Charlie has seen wearing underwear.  I re-iterated again to Charlie that when he was a big boy and went in the potty he would get to wear underwear too.  About ten minutes later Charlie told me “potty, Mama.”  He usually does this before he poops.  And I usually ask him if he wants to sit on the potty, to which he usually replies, “No.” 

But!

Today he said yes!  So I whisked him to the bathroom and then he pooped!  In.  The.  Toilet!!!!!!  I was so shocked.  Silly me, I tried to put his diaper back on afterwards, but he was having none of that….remember, big boys who go in the potty don’t wear diapers they wear underwear (there is nothing wrong with his memory!) 

So without further ado, I present Charlie, wearing his first pair of underwear!

Maybe he can come over here and inspire Peter. After 10 months of peeing in the potty, he has yet to routinely and reliably poop in the potty. He goes the second we put on a diaper. (Bedtime, naptime). It's exhasperating.

Such a big boy!! X is very interested in the potty and loves to sit on it...but has yet to figure out what to do with it :) I think she's still too little--but her interest level is extreme.

:) way to go Charlie!!
