Potty time!

Evan went pee-pee in the potty for the first time today - completely unsolicited! I was getting him ready for nite-nite and he was in the bathroom with me while I was going potty. And then he said, "Evan sit on toily." So I said OK, took off his diaper, and sat him on the toilet seat, hanging on to him so he didn't fall in. I wasn't really expecting him to do anything since he's only asked to sit on the toilet a handful of times. But I asked him, "Are you gonna go pee-pee?" And then we both looked down and he started to pee! I gave him some toilet paper and he wiped his bum. I told him he needed to wipe his penis. Again, he wiped his bum. So I took the toilet paper and wiped his penis, got him off the potty, put his diaper back on and we washed our hands together.

Then I called downstairs to Mark, "Hey Babe, you want to come up here and congratulate your son on going pee-pee in the potty for the first time?" And he said, "Wow! Yeah!" and he came upstairs and we made a really big deal over him. We were clapping and cheering and he just went nuts. He was jumping all over the bed and wiggling around. He was like a little tasmanian devil. He just couldn't keep still. He was obviously very pleased with himself. This is the first new milestone in quite awhile, so it is SO exciting!
