Another "first"!

After Mikey turned a year old I remember telling Michael that we are running out of "firsts". No more "first steps", "first plane ride" or "first haircut". It was becoming all too common now....and I didn't want that to end.

Well, today we had another "first"! Mikey peed on the potty! YAY!




We purchased the potty a few weeks ago and Mikey would casually sit on it from time to time. Usually I have him undress before his bath and while I get the bath ready, Mikey sits on his potty. Everything happened last night as usual, including just sitting on the potty and nothing coming out.

After Mikey was cleaned up we took him out of the bathtub and he made a mad dash to the potty, said "potty" and sat down again. As he got up, Michael says "Mikey---you peed in the potty!!". We looked in and sure enough he had gone! Mikey made no facial expression to indicate he was pleased with himself (or to acknowledge AT ALL what he did).....he was more looking at us like we were crazy because we were the ones that were so excited and cheering! Then he caught on and kept saying "I did on the potty"! He put his hand in it (gross!) and then helped us pour it in the big potty and flush the toilet.

After we put on his pajamas and read books, he kept going back into the bathroom, pointing to the potty and saying "I did on the potty!".

Way to go, Mikey!
