he pooped in the potty!!

okay. this is going to be TMI for a lot of people. im warning you now - the subjuect of the post says it all. if you dont want to read in detail about the content of the subject line... stop reading now.



still reading???




!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now, i dont for a second think this means he'll be potty trained soon, and i do think this is a fluke. but HE DID IT!! we were reading his bedtime story and he stood up to get another book (we go through several books. imagine that.) and he gave me the "pooping" grunt, and grabbed his diaper/butt. i asked, "are you going potty?" and he said, "yes."

keep in mind, pretty much anything i ask he replies, "yes" so i wasnt convinced.

so i said, "okay. you need to go sit on the potty" ive been trying to get him familiar with the potty so he'll sit on it every now and then fully clothed. SO. he walks into the bathroom and sits on the potty in his PJs, then really gives a good grunt. he was actually pooping!

i knew id have to change his diaper anyway, so i stripped off the PJs and took the (now poopy) diaper off. he sat on the little poty and peed. yay!!!

we made a big happy deal about it and cleaned his bottom. then he went into the hall and peed a little pn the carpet. the little potty had poop on it so i grabbed the toilet ring thing and sat him on it. he peed a little more (yay!) and i said, "do you have to poop?" and he, of course, said "yes!"

this is where i lost my head a bit. i said, "caleb, you gotta push the poopy out." and i grunted and pretended to try to poop. he imitated me and grabbed his belly and PLOP PLOP PLOP!! he pooped! i was shocked! i asked if he was all done and he said "more".

so i told him to push his poopy out and he did. he seriously did like, an adult sized poop. he hasnt had a poopy diaper since yesterday, so i knew a big one was brewing. he TOTALLY pooped, then said "all done!" and tried to climb off. i wiped his butt - WAY better then cleaning up after a poopy diaper - and he flushed he toilet while saying, "bye bye!" to the poopy. he was SO excited! :)

i can hardly believe it. and like i said, its probably a fluke, but i can promise that when he starts grunting at home, i'm putting him on the potty and we're going to work on it!

waa hoo!!!
