Seriously?

C woke up yesterday morning, nursed, sat up and said "Mommy, uckies." I said, "you have uckies?" "Yeah." Okay, we get out of bed, go into the bathroom, take off the diaper, no poop. I ask him if he wants to go on the toilet..."yeah" is the response. So we go into the other bathroom. sit on the potty chair and he goes. And goes. And goes. Wow. So it went on from there. By the end of the day, he had spent most of the day in underwear with just little dribbles for accidents but did most of his peeing in the toilet. Daddy convinced him to put on a diaper to go play outside for which I was especially grateful. Fast forward to this morning. Same scenario except that he actually woke up dry AND refused to put his jammies back on after his morning potty. Luckily, he had insisted on having his Thomas underwear on over his nighttime diaper so we were ready to go.

Okay, I know that I should be ecstatic about all of this and it is quite exciting and I'm very proud of him but I'm also filled with trepidation at the thought of beginning this process with a 23 month old. I hadn't envisioned this happening for about another year and wasn't even looking forward to that since I've done this twice before and it really wasn't fun. However, when they are showing clear signs and capabilities, you go with it, right? Well, we'll see.

In other news, S wants in on the game too. He insisted on having Bob the Builder underwear on OVER his pajamas last night. It's quite a sight. You can only get away with that stuff when you're 2. He's far from ready to be potty trained but he likes to play the "sit on the pot" game so we go with that.

So, we're in a pattern of seeing where this all goes. I'm certainly not going to pin my hopes and dreams on having a 2 year old who is potty trained. I've heard of such miracles taking place - usually with girls but have heard tales about it happening with a boy here and there as well - but have never seen them in my house. I'm trying to remain open and just see what happens but if the potty gods were to smile upon me, I'd really be grateful :).
