Great Weekend!

So this weekend has been very eventful in our household. Well, not really that eventful, per say, but the events were really exciting.

We have not been actively potty training Wy but have introduced him to his little potty and have him sit on it any time he is in the bathroom. Sometimes with clothes on, sometimes sans diaper. It just depends on his mood and the situation. On Saturday he got up from about a three hour nap and his diaper was dry. So we thought, "hey, let's sit him on the potty." Off the diaper comes and he sits down on the potty and is looking at a four-wheeler magazine while J sat on the edge of the tub.

I was taking care of Miss M while this was going on and about 15 minutes later J asked for me to get him some juice. Wy was really enjoying the whole process so we figured we should take advantage of it. After a few minutes he still hadn't peed so we decided to bring the potty into the kitchen and let him run without a diaper. He drug the potty in the living room and sat down on it watching cartoons. J went outside to clean off the 4 wheeler because he was going to take Wy outside to play in the snow and while he was gone Wy just sat and watched his show. A couple of minutes later he got up and tried to take the little soft ring off and I stood up to put it back and tell him it needed to stay on there and there was pee in the potty!! I was so excited! I made a huge deal over it and got him a little dum dum sucker for it. That, of course, made him excited.

I let him run without a diaper for a bit longer and after a couple of accidents that didn't make it into the potty we put it back on. Sunday was about the same. One pee in the potty, on his own while he was watching his cartoon and a couple of accidents that prompted his diaper being put on. We are still not going to try to go full time potty training for about another month but we are going to try a few hours of non-diaper time a day until then. At least we know he knows what the potty is for! YAY, Wy.

Miss M's 6 month well visit is tomorrow so I will try to post again tomorrow about her stats.
I am trying to transition to using initials or nicknames for us. Since I am getting ready to teach it is usually advised you don't have anything out there kids can access too easily about you. Even though this is a nice, family blog I have decided to go ahead and change things. I need to decided something else to call Wy though.. We call him Booger or Baby boy here at home so I may go with that =).
