Potty Animal

I’ve been trying to potty train Ben lately. About once a day I take his diaper off, and let him wear his “big boy” underwear. After about an hour, or so I put him back in a diaper. Well yesterday was a day of firsts.

It was the first time that he told me that he needed to go pee. In the past I either made him sit on the toilet every half hour until he peed, or he just peed in his underwear.

It was the first time that he peed twice in the same training session.

It was also the first time that he pooped in his underwear. Poopy underwear is no fun to clean up. I sure hope that the experience helped him to learn that pooping on oneself is a bad idea.
