Wednesday (2/23/10) he woke up from his nap, was awake a minute or so, and then made a raspberry. I immediately perked up and took off his diaper and took him to the sink. He went pee and poo...HOORAY!! After that we had a couple misses (a miss is when I miss his signals and he goes in his diaper)...but its an on going journey we are on. =)
Yesterday a few times when I took him potty he would blow raspberries BEFORE peeing or pooing. So neat to see all of my hard work paying off!!!
Russ looks so happy after he voids. Often, he will smile or squeal after he goes, which makes me think he appreciates me (and daddy) taking care of not only his hunger, physical, and emotional needs but also his elimination needs. He doesn't sit in his own mess and will never have to unlearn the idea that his diaper is a toilet. YAY, YAY, YAY!
I love him and am very proud of him, he's a fighter (he takes after his mom in that way!). I love how personable he is becoming. He squeals, coos, and 'talks' with our family members now. He even flirts a little bit when people talk to him, he hides his face and looks at them with a smile. So darn cute!!
This weekend I'll try to get a good picture of him on his IKEA potty. He smiles and talks to himself when he's on the potty... LOVE IT!! He has also found his feet recently and will practically almost fall off the potty leaning over to touch his toes.
Well it's time for bed. G'night.
