peepee in the potty!!!!!

Wheeeeeeee or should I say, PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

We are just so proud!

Hunter just did his first peepee in the potty!!!!!!

We got home from church, and mommy needed to make a beeline for the bathroom. Hunter joined me and pulled at his pants.

I took them off. He sat down, he stood up again looked in the potty and I said, "sorry there's nothing there....you can try again." He sat down again, his cute little feet turned in just a little and he got a little look on his face. I thought for sure he was practicing doing poopy something he likes to do- stress on the practicing part as we've only done it by accident when mommy has caught him mid poopy and was able to get the pants off and stick him on the potty after asking him if he wanted to try.

But I can't believe he asked, made that first attempt , then sat back down made that cute little face and then actually did it! He then wanted to pick up the potty and dump it in the big potty. Something both boys also like to practice. Usually the only thing in there is one square of toilet paper which I give them when they like to play this game.

We did a victory dance and sang,
"you did poopy in the potty (think conga line beat), poopy in the potty!"

just for the record we aren't seriously potty training...just going with the flow so to speak (ha ha).

we got potty chairs to just get them used to the idea, and always talk about having to go to the potty and asking them to bring us to the potty- which they do by grabbing our finger and bringing us to the door.

but we didn't really plan on "training" for another year or so. but when they ask to sit I comply and if they want to go- great!

This was the first time he has asked and actually gone!

As you can tell we are just so proud - this happening before he's even 2 (next week is their b-day!)....but if it doesn't happen again for a year or so, we are ok with that too!

That is fabulous! Great that he is taking the lead on this. Ty is afraid to go in the potty :( Makes me wonder about training in his orphanage. But anyway, yay!

Need some new pics! I haven't seen your boys in recent pics in awhile!

YIPPEE! GO BOYS! That is the easiest way to train them by making them help you and take you. How old are they now? The SWI staff had mine trained by the time we got to them in China at two and a half (one was six). So proud of your boys.

and Yeah!!!! It wasn't a fluke!

Yesterday Hunter asked twice and successfully completed his mission!

so we are up to a total of 3 pees for Hunter!

He actually asked more than that, but I think I am starting to see a difference in the way he asks...sometimes it is just to play around naked and he doesn't make the same stance while sitting. It really is too cute...he puts his little knees together and gets a serious little face!

Zachary is in on the trying...anything to get naked right! but he hasn't actually had any success.

We'll keep you all posted.

and Tonya, I may have to try the M&M's! I had another mom swear by mini marshmallows so I bought a bag for rewards. I offered one to both boys for their attempt and discovered they have NO INTEREST in the at all. unless you want to count squishing them w/ their fingers until they are just a sticky goo and then thinking its funny to wipe that said goo onto mommy! LOL
