Potty talk

I'll be honest, I don't really have a plan for potty training just yet. It's not that I haven't thought about it though...way back in May I did some research on potties and based on lots of great reviews, I decided on this one in a fun red color.  Right now, my plan is to wait for Jack to start showing some signs that he's at least interested a bit. At this point, I don't want to pressure him and/or chase his little naked behind around the house with the potty if he's not ready. I do talk to him about what goes in the potty. He calls his potty by name (poddy) and he knows how to flush the real toilet. He LOVES to sit on the potty with his clothes on. But if I ask him if he wants his diaper off, he says no and if we try to put him on the potty when he's naked, forget it.  His straightens his legs out and resists.

Well last night he did his usual hanging out on the potty with his clothes on and I asked if he wanted his diaper off and he said, YES! Wow. Rob and I were shocked.  So I took his pants and diaper off.  He then pointed to his potty and asked us to put water in it. I guess that's logical since he knows the real toilet has water in it. He sat right down and PEED!  We were even more shocked and not prepared for that at all...We have to figure out how to make sure his boy parts are pointing in the right direction next time...In the end, Jack ended up with two animal crackers and a bath.  :)

Fast forward to this afternoon...I tried sitting him on the potty and he was not interested.  So with his diaper off, we made our way upstairs to get him ready for his nap. He wandered around his room with no diaper for no more than 5 minutes...I didn't even realize what happened until he was in his crib and I was picking books up off the floor when I saw a puddle...Oops.  At least he missed the area rug.  :)
