Tales from the Potty.


Here's the big boy of the house! Evan is enjoying his reward for.... going POOP in the potty! Any home of potty trainers knows of this significance and JOY. :) Tonight Evan (who was wearing underwear all day successfully) was supposed to be going to bed at 8p. At 7:58p, he runs from the couch to the bathroom. We assumed it was to stall bedtime only... he was trying to poop! It was glorious. We jumped and shouted and cheered. We didn't care if we woke up Cora Grace (it did but she went right back down). It was hilarious and is hilarious that I'm talking about it but, it is important in our household. Cora will sit on the little potty every time anyone sits on the toilet. Hopefully she starts doing something in it one of these days, then no more diapers... ahh (well, until I convince Mike of #3).
Evan, we are so proud of you for earning the 'giant lollipop' we bought you in JULY, anticipating this day. Keep up the good work buddy. :)

the sucker looks great! How long does it take him to eat it or is he still eating it? I like how you made him in black and white and the sucker on color! I'd like that in next years calendar or book please. tell Evan that grandma's Putsie thinks he's the best:-)

this is so awesome!!! Serif will be so jealous of that lollipop! he would just get a tootsie or blow pop. he would be bug-eyed at the site of this!

he still asks for a "pop" after he poops. he still gives hi-fives and gets excited and proud. he's been potty trained since early fall. I enjoy him getting excited still though. it's refreshing that he gets excited over the smallest things. well, it seems small now. it was a VERY BIG deal. it's the only thing we could get to work (along with stickers and a potty chart!). ha!

so proud of you Evan! you deserve every lick of that "pop!". great job!
