THE BIG POOP

For my 100th BLOG, I'm bragging about my son's poop. Right before his bath tonight, Alex told me, "poop...potty." I asked him, "Do you want to go sit on the potty?" He said, "Yes." I was reading him a book while he sat on the potty and he just pooped (and then went pee pee too). He said, "all done" and stood up. He looked into his potty, pointed at his poop, and said, "poop...my poop....I pooped." I called Marc upstairs and we clapped and cheered! Alex had a huge grin in his face. I cleaned up his bottom and ran his bath water. After his bath he wanted to check out the poop again, before I cleaned it up. Before bedtime we asked him numerous times, "Did you poop in the potty like a big boy?" "Yes," he kept telling us. Well, hopefully it was not a one-time occurence, although we are letting him do this at his own pace. We have not been pressing it at all and he usually says "no" when we ask him if he wants to sit on the potty (after the initial excitement wore off when we got it). Well, we are very proud of him and we'll keep updates coming!
