Carter went potty in the potty tonight!!!!!!!!!! I am beyond excited! Frankly I didn't know I could be THIS excited about potty in the potty! I am so proud of my little guy.
Back story: for the past couple weeks Carter has been intentionally peeing in the tub. We would tell him "Carter's going potty" and semi celebrate that he knew what was going on and it was intentional. We weren't super thrilled he was peeing in the tub, but hey we'll take what we can get and figured it was a great way for him to learn, and put a name to, what he was doing. We figured he'd learn that he was "going potty" and then we'd eventually put him on the toilet. Well the past day or two he's been trying to climb up on the toilet. I'm not sure if he knows the connection or not. Tonight, on a whim, I busted out the toddler toilet seat insert, and we put Carter on it and asked him if he had to go potty. We asked a couple times and them BAM he did it! We were clapping and dancing around and soo excited and proud of him. When he finished he looked at us and clapped. Seriously, so proud of him. His first time sitting on the potty and he went! We were so proud and so was he.
Write this date down in the books. First potty in the potty at 21 months old.
(Don't get me wrong I don't think he's potty trained or totally ready to potty train at this point, but I still cannot help that I'm so excited and proud of him! My little baby is officially growing up.)
