Potty Time!

We hadn't been trying very hard about sitting Joseph on his little potty, but I had renewed interest when visiting with a friend from mom's group whose little boy is now wearing underpants during the day!

So, I went out and got one of those rings that go on the toilet seat. Being the really cool mom that I am, I paid the extra $2 for the sesame street seat with a more comfortable looking cushion. I think it paid off! Joseph L-O-V-E-S this thing. Like, we have a tantrum when we leave the bathroom because I make him leave it on the toilet.

He's already gone on the potty 4 times in 2 days! He seems to "get" it better than the little one, too, probably since he sees me go to the bathroom all the time. It's cute, because when he's finished he'll try to get himself toilet paper, just like a big kid!

"They" say there is a window around 18-24 months where kids are interested in potty learning, so I'm hoping we'll catch it and move on to bigger and better things, like talking!
