Potty Training

A couple of weeks ago, we decided to SLOWLY start potty training Porter. Porter kind of forced us to want to start. Whenever he was through taking a bath, he would jump out and run as fast as he could out to the living room where Daddy usually was, squeeze as hard as he could and go to the bathroom all over the floor. He thought it was the funniest thing EVER. Of course we then hurried him into his room and closed the door so he couldn't escape while we put his PJ'S on, but then he started peeing on the way to his room. He would laugh and laugh. This let us know that he had a lot of control over his bowel movements... so we decided to begin. We bought him this awesome Fisher Price Singing Potty that Porter LOVES. It sings a couple of different songs and cheers every time that you go potty. Porter sits on the toilet and just dances. It is the funniest thing ever, and I think it really helps to make it a positive thing for Porter. The first day he went pee all poo in his toilet a couple of times and we were so excited. Here is his first poop in his new potty..haha (I'm sure you all wanted to see this) but it made me proud..haha! :-) All we are doing so far is putting him on the toilet about every hour. If he goes, we give him an M&M. He has been awesome at going every time we put him on the potty. A couple of times a day he also comes up to us and says "pee-pee" and then runs over to the potty. We just need to work on him wanting to go by himself a little better, but we aren't making a huge deal about it just wanting him to get used to the idea and so far he is doing great. Recently he also has been wanting to go more and more on the real potty. I think he thinks it is a lot funner to flush the big potty. I guess that is a good thing, just wondering if I actually ever needed to buy a little boy potty. Oh well, I guess it served it's purpose for a little while at least.
