Potty Training 101

This little boy is amazing and doesn't even know it.

I can take no credit for his potty endeavors. Friday night he took his diaper off, went to the bathroom, closed the door, sat on his little throne and did his business, (1/2 landing on the floor), but who cares! Informing me after he was finished by marching his little bare bum out to the kitchen, jammies at his ankles, "pee in potty Mom,"(sorry Jeane for the free show)!! **We had some friends here for bread making lessons!** So, after eating his fair share of m & m's and being showered with praises and lots of "banging hands", (his way of saying "high fives") he continued to be without his diaper the rest of the evening and the following day. Saturday there were a few accidents, but by the end of the day he was running there all by himself, even going poo on his own! WHAT!!?? I just laughed because I could hardly believe it! So, it's Monday afternoon, not even three days after beginning his "training" and he's peeing like a champ! I am seriously amazed at this guy! My Mom said he is "Jake resurrected"....meaning that when he makes up his mind, he does it, preferably on his own, without fanfare and quite efficiently!

So, Luke if you read this someday, just know that when you were 2 1/2 years old you had a quiet determination and deep resolve unlike most adults I know! This afternoon his Aunt Jan came and took him to Turkey Hill for a "prize" and boy was he PROUD of his candy stash. And out of the kindness of his heart he gave me a pack of candies and Tyler a pack of candies, leaving him with his lone lollipop. What a darling, darling boy!

How fortunate we are that he is our son."
