We have been spending a lot of time lately talking to Sam about using the potty, etc. I put him on the toilet before nap and bed each day for the past several days - completely unsuccessfully but trying to make a point.
This morning he had a dirty diaper around 9:30 and when I changed him I put him into underwear for the first time. He was so excited, he wanted to try the potty immediately. I got out the portable seat for him so he could do it by himself (he can't get on the toilet by himself yet). He would play for 3 or 4 minutes and then tell me he was going to try to potty. It was adorable how excited he was. He kept pulling his shorts down to show daddy his fast car underwear.
Around 11 he said he had to go and he sat on the potty and peed. I made a HUGE deal about it and cheered, clapped and jumped up and down and that made him so proud. He went down for nap without having had an accident at all.
I am so proud of him. It is paying off that I waited until he was ready instead of trying to force him when he was uncomfortable with the idea of it.
