Proud Moment

Today was a hectic day with no real dinner time to be heard of. We all kind of ate in shifts as other things needed to get done. So it was a complete surprise to me when I was getting Gusi ready for his bath that he said he had to go poo-poo. I asked him if he wanted to go in his little toilet (which upon its arrival has become a very interesting object) and he said yes. So, since his clothes were off already, I just took his diaper off and sat him down. He was so happy, smiling and even laughing. I wondered if he would do anything, so I kept asking him if he had to go. Yes, he said and proceeded to go. I was so happy that I clapped and gave him kisses and said what a clever boy he was. That positive reinforcement did the trick and he kept going until he had finished. Then he told me that he was done, I wiped his bottom and called his father to show him. When his father saw, we congratulated him again and again and again.

Incredible! I didn't think he would be ready for potty training but I guess if I just let him take the lead it might work out after all.
