"Houston, We Have Poo-Poo"

Well, I promise I won't post pictures of the evidence, but you must at least indulge a mother's ravings about her son's potty training success! There is nothing that can make a mom question her very own abilities as a mom faster than potty training disasters can --- and likewise potty training success can bring joy immeasurable!

Since before baby Chloe was born Camden has showed signs of being ready to potty train, but my oh-so-pregnant-self just couldn't muster the gumption to start down that path. So FINALLY this week (a mere 6 months later) I started working with Cammy and on day 2 we have poo-poo!

Also, today Cammy went potty all by himself, with out me having to remind him --- AND he even managed to do it standing up. The funniest part is that he is BARELY tall enough for the appropriate "part" to be able to reach to "tinkle" into the toilet --- so there was lots of grunting and maneuvering while my cute little two-year-old stood on his tippy tippy tippy toes all in the name of "peeing like daddy does." Then he exclaimed with shear joy, "I P-E-E-E-E-E-D!" and gave himself a round of applause.

Yes, the boy is tickled pink with himself --- and mommy is too! Two down, one to go --- Chloe, any chance you'll be ready to potty train anytime soon? Mommy's on a roll!
