So Caleb is by far our most expressive child...not with language, but facial communication. He will look at something or get excited about something and his whole face lights up literally! Well, we knew that when we actually began potty training we were in for a treat...
The first time Caleb went to the bathroom standing up without a diaper, was at a Dr's. office. He had to pee in a cup and was a little weary. To help ease the process, John put on the bathroom sink a little. It worked like a charm. He was SO excited and finally understood how this all works. So this past week we have started putting him on the potty a little. He has a routine now of what to do...
He turns the light on, moves the step stool to the sink and turns on the water. He then moves the step stool back to the toilet, lifts the lid, goes (with pure excitement I might add!), puts the lid down, flushes, and then pulls his pants up. He washes his hands and then runs to everyone yelling "pee, pee" with the funniest smile. If any of these steps are missed, we know - he has a little OCD too. It is truly exciting every time he goes. So our plan today is school time, laundry, and peeing! We'll keep you posted on his progress (it helps to have a bigger brother I think). I just can't wait to have one child in diapers again, even if it means more laundry :)
