Yeah Reese!

You may remember that we bought Reese a potty a month or two ago. Occasionally he will inspect the potty and sit on it (clothed). We have not pushed potty training yet. I thought that it would be best to get through the holidays first.

Last week Reese had the hand, foot, and mouth virus. Because of this he had blisters on his bottom. Our pediatrician told us to let him go without a diaper when possible so the blisters could heal. With this in mind we sat on the potty quiet a few times.

Saturday, Reese was tugging on his diaper and I asked if he wanted to sit on the potty. He ran to the bathroom and I took the diaper off and let him sit on the potty. I was blown away when I heard the potty start to play a song. Reese peed in the potty!!! We all cheered and did a happy dance. He was not interested in sitting on the potty anymore that day. Last night he started tugging at his diaper again. Yet again, he peed in the potty!

We are so proud of him! As originally planned, we are not going to officially try training until the first of the year, but we will continue giving him opportunities daily.
