Yeeeeow *do a little dance*

Glorious day! Corbin sat on the potty for the FIRST time today...and uh...it wasn't wasted time either! He put pee pee in the potty! And now you get to hear all about it because this is MY blog and I'm a proud mama - oh yeah! And of course I didn't let the photo opp slip by either!

A couple nights ago we were cleaning out the laundry room and Jason threatened to throw out our little potty *gasp* NO WAY - so we put it back in the bathroom simply for he sake of getting it out of the laundry room.

Well, tonight while I was getting Corbin ready for bed I decided, on a whim, to let him sit on the potty for a while - just getting him use to the feel of it - never even crossed my mind that he would actually go! After all I had just changed his diaper and it was wet and poopy! So I got him a book and let him just take his time and enjoy his "new" seat. After several minutes and a several times thru the book he stood up and low and behold...there was a beautiful yellow puddle at the bottom! I squealed...prolly scared him a bit...but I wanted to make a HUGE deal out of it! I was so proud of my boy! So I lead him thru all the follow-up steps: wipe, dump the little potty in the big potty, flush, wash hands, etc. THEN...we got to celebrate with a cookie!

This is so exciting to me! He isn't even 2 years old yet! I know we're probably far from being a diaper-free household, but it's still a step towards that end! Jenalyn didn't potty train until she was 3 years old!

So there is our exciting news for the day!

CORBIN PEED IN THE POTTY!!!!

Maybe we'll add this additional step into our night-time routine!

Wow! I'm impressed. Benjamin sits on the potty, but he hasn't ever actually done anything in it yet. Hurray for your little guy!
