Mommy bought Cooper a potty that goes on the toilet last week and have been sitting him on it to get used to it every once in a while, especially before bath-time. Since he’s naked anyway, we figured it’s a good time to try to go pee. So far he hasn’t peed on it yet. Just sits there smiling, then gets off and flushes the toilet. No big deal since we aren’t really wanting to train him yet, just get him used to it.
Well today mommy made up a potty song – Cooper goes pee, and I sat a baby doll on the toilet and cheered, pretending the baby went pee. Then pretended to give the baby a treat. Next thing you know Cooper points to the toilet and looks like he wants up. So I get his pants off and set him on. Mommy started to sign the pee song and low and behold --
Cooper went pee-pee. Mommy cheered and Cooper flushed the toilet – bye bye pee! Then I gave him a little treat as a reward. A piece of a teddy-graham with chocolate chips inside. Since he never gets cookies I figure this will be the perfect potty training treat.
I’m sure part of this was just a nice coincidence, but still – he did it! It’s a start.
We were thinking of starting to train Cooper at 15 months – so he’s about a month early right now. But I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to have a few pull-up’s on hand for practice periods until then.
YAY COOPER – what a BIG BOY you are!!!
