Potty Time

Video Clip - Our nightly routine for several weeks now has included "potty time". Thomas brushes his teeth and then we sit on the potty and read. It usually takes a few minutes but it is relaxing and helps him unwind (doesn't it do that for all of us?). This is all done before we take a tubby bath or wash up. For the last two nights, when we were all done and Thomas got up from the potty, we found a wonderful surprise.... Pee-Pee in the Potty! On the first night, when we made such a big deal about it and we all looked at "it", Thomas was not really sure what to make of it. You could tell he was excited, because we were excited, but he probably didn't put anything together. Last night, the same thing happened, but this time you could tell that he was excited and proud that there was "Pee-Pee in the Potty." I know that two nights in a row doesn't constitute any pattern, but I think we might be on to something. Even if that means we only go potty at night time - at least, it is a start for potty training. Anyways - exciting news in the Heck Household! Enjoy! By the way, the video clip is us reading Thomas favorite night time/potty book - "How Do Dinasaurs Say GoodNight?"
