Potty Time!

We have been potty-training Zac for a few months now. We've transitioned from using the potty chair to the big toilet. He always goes #1 in the toilet, but not #2. We don't make it in time and I think he's embarrassed. Today (Monday, March 1, 2010) however I saw him just in time. I was getting ready to vacuum and I looked over at him. He was leaning against the kitchen window, grunting. I said "Do you have to go potty? Come on, hurry let's go!" I thought he'd already gone in his pants. We got into the bathroom and he hadn't gone yet. So I set him on the toilet and waited. I didn't sit there and stare at him because I knew he wouldn't go then. So I acted like I was busy and waited... Then I heard him say excitedly "I did it!" And he did!! I told him "Good Job!" and grabbed the camera. He wanted to flush right away, but I told him to wait a minute because I had to take a picture (I know it may be gross, but this is a big deal to me!). This may have been too much information for some of you, but I'm doing it for me so I can remember this day! I'm so proud of him, I hope this is only the beginning! If we get him completely potty-trained and the girls off of formula in a month, we'll be rich, haha!

While I wasn't looking, Zac grabbed the box of Cheerios off the counter and poured himself a bowl! I had given him Apple Jacks, but apparently he wanted Cheerios!

Zac proud of himself for doing his "business"! As he's eating a cookie! Mommy's proud of you too Zac!
