It's My Potty
We have had a little baby potty chair in the bathroom for a few months now but have not been pushing the toilet training agenda at all. He wasn’t walking yet, but he would crawl over and show interest from time to time, mainly by putting the bowl on his head like a hat, or dropping cat toys in it.
Recently he has been walking and climbing on chairs. So when he started sitting on this particular chair I whipped his diaper off quick as a flash and put him on the bowl. He laughed the first time, but now we have a morning routine. When he first wakes up we go in, take off his wet diaper and set him on the pot. He usually sits for a minute, pleased with himself, then squirms to get down. But thus morning he started to pee and we popped him back into position. His first time going pee-pee in the potty.
My little man is growing up. We dressed him in his new shoes and when we got to school I took him out of the carseat and set him down. He held my hand and we walked across the parking lot, through the outer door, punch in the code, the inner door, different code to log him in, another door to his classroom. Through it all he held my finger and walked beside me. In his classroom he let go and toddled to the back door where the other kids were getting a buggy ride outside. He made a small fuss when I kissed him goodbye and I was a little disappointed he wasn’t more upset.
Don’t outgrow your Momma quite yet, little bug.
