Potty Time. Excellent.
Posted at 12:50 pm by Jane under Updates
I am happy to report that Simon has been peeing in the potty.
Last night before his bath, I took his clothes off tubside. Anticipating that he might pee, I put him on his new potty seat and said, “Can you pee-pee?”. He got a far-away look in his eye and then let go a few trickles. I was thrilled. During his bath he stood up and started to pee again, so I pulled him out and put him back on the seat. More pee. Then this morning, thinking it might have been a fluke, I put him on his seat again. 100 yard stare, pee.
We’ve been praising him and singing a pee-pee song. He seems excited to be able to get us so excited. Who knows what this means? I mean geez, he’s only 15 months old. But I think it’s neat. Actually it’s pretty messy, but it’s still cool.
Here’s a pic of him on our recent trip to Michigan looking as pleased with himself as we are with him.
Love, Jane.

How exciting – just for him to be comfortable going on the potty is a huge step!

Simon’s eyes are just gorgeous. I was a big fan of M & M potty rewards. “One for you, darlin’, and a handful for Mommy!” I had three in diapers for a while, so chocolate was pretty much a necessity.

Dear Simon
How awesome you are for the potty work! Well done!
Can you come and have a word with Miles one day soon? Kinda show him how it’s done…or maybe explain what’s attractive about the possibility of the potty? He doesn’t seem to grasp how this benefits us all in the long run! lol
keep up the good work!
love

Great job, Simon! (And Mom and Dad, too. I bet the pee-pee song is pretty cool).
