And poopy potty too! Nathan peed and pooped in the potty last night for the first time. Who’d have thought I’d get this excited about that?

For awhile we’d ask Nathan if he wanted to pee pee in the potty before bathtime, and sometimes he’d sit on the potty, but he never actually went. Eventually he lost interest and didn’t even want to sit down. Since we’re in no rush to potty train him, we decided not to push it and just leave the potty in the bathroom and let him decide when he wanted to use it. The last couple nights after bathtime he’s told us he needs to poop and wanted to sit on the potty. Last night as he was getting out of the bathtub Nathan told me that he needed to poop and I asked him if he wanted to sit on the potty. He sat down and we hung out in the bathroom for a good 10 minutes. We just hung out and chatted, and I’d occasionally ask him if he wanted to get up and he’d tell me no. I think during our conversation he told me he had peed and pooped, but I didn’t really believe him until he got up and I saw that he’d done both! Nathan seemed proud, but more than that he was very interested in the fact that it was brown. Boys.

I’m fully aware that this may not happen again for 6 months, but I think it’s a pretty big step in potty training none-the-less. Go Nathan!!
