A couple weeks ago Geoff and I were out shopping and we came across a Backyardigans potty seat. Many of you know, The Backyardigans is Carson's FAVORITE! He LOVES The Backyardigans. We decided to buy it and store it away for when it was "time" to potty train. When we got home, Carson saw the potty seat and immediately was curious what this new object was in the house. What the hey, we put it in the bathroom and figured we would let his curiosity run wild.
Last night while Geoff was watching Carson, he put the seat on and let Carson sit on the potty with his diaper on. Today before I was going to give Carson a bath, he grabbed the potty seat and was putting it on top of the toiletseat. I lifted the top and put the seat on, took his diaper off and let him sit there. I was curious to see what would happen. He was very comfortable, just jabbering away while I sat, anxiously on the tub, waiting. All of a sudden I hear a trickle and Carson did pee pee in the potty! Of course I was making a big deal and then he reached for the toilet paper. This is getting good, I promise. I gave him some toilet paper and just like that, he wiped himself and then put the toilet paper in the bowl! ha!! I just about lost it, I was hysterically laughing, I couldn't believe it.
I thought he was done, how could it get better. Then...I saw the face, watched the eyes squint and kerplunk, there it was! My 16 month old son did poo poo in the potty!!!! Immediately I'm calling Geoff and my mom because I just couldn't believe what had happened. I was clapping and screaming and Carson had a smile from ear to ear, he knew he did something big. He then wiggled off the seat and went to the handle to try and flush. Of course I paused to take a "proud mommy" photo of my big boy's first poo poo in the potty!!!!

Still.... it gets better. I thought it was a fluke, no chance, I still don't think he is in anyway ready to potty train, but it is fun to get him use to what is to come. Tonight before bath, he was grabbing at the seat, so I put the seat on and let him sit. Just like that, I heard a little trickle and then he looked in the bowl. He did pee pee again. He sat for a minute and then the face. He squinted and all of a sudden, kerplunk!!! Carson did poo poo in the potty twice in 1 day!!!!!
Of course, my mom immediately ordered the exact potty seat for her house so they could practice whenever Carson wanted to. Amazing, I tell ya, the kid blows me away every day. Now if he could just talk to me and tell me what he is thinking. haha. One thing at a time.. :-)
