Peeing on the potty chair!!!

Liam,
Last night you peed on the potty chair for the first time! I've been trying to get you to sit on the potty before your bath each night (or every other night) for probably 6 months. Lots of times you just don't want to do it- you want to get right into the bath. And oftentimes, as soon as you get in the bath, you pee! So, I know you always need to pee then, after drinking so much liquid with your supper. Last night, I put you on the potty chair. You did NOT want to be on there- you were struggling to get down, but I said we'd just count to 10, and then you could get down. You were yelling at me, "No counting, Mommy! No counting!!!" LOLLLLL. And then, by the time I'd counted to about 4, you were suddenly peeing! But, your penis wasn't pointed down, so you were peeing an arc over the toilet seat, onto your foot and the floor! I quickly pushed your penis down, and you stopped. I asked if you needed to go more, and then you did, for probably 5 seconds more. When you finished, we clapped, and you pumped your fists in the air and yelled, "I did it!" You were so proud of yourself, and Daddy and I are so proud of you too! I yelled for Daddy, and he came running with my old camera, and took a few pics of you with a big smile on your face. (He also took a pic of your yellow pee in the toilet- LOLLL, and gross!) Of course, I got all teary-eyed. I'm just so proud of you!

When we got to daycare this morning, you told your teachers that you'd peed in the potty chair, and they all cheered for you. So exciting!

Now, I'm sure you'll be fully potty trained tomorrow, right? :) Just kidding. I'm not that delusional- I know it's going to take a long time, but at least this is a step in the right direction!

Love you, my big boy!!!
Mommy
