Now, I realize by typing this I am probably jinxing us, but I'm going to share it anyway because this blog is dedicated to all things Gideon and Mommy, and this is a big Gideon.
Gideon has gone poop twice in his little potty. Now, had I not listened to anyone he probably wouldn't have gone in a potty yet. I was fully convinced he would not (and he still may not) be potty trained until he was at least 3. He has never cared about having a soiled diaper. So, I thought it would be extremely difficult to train him.
One of my aunts bought him a little potty for Christmas, along with a potty book, and some Pull-Ups. I laughed when I opened it thinking surely we wouldn't need any of the above for at least another year.
That brings us to the last few months. Our family has been talking about how they think he's ready to start thinking about using the toilet. I thought yeah, yeah, whatever. Then D was thinking the same thing, and I was like, Ok maybe. Then the doctor asked about it at his 2 year check up the other day and he said he might be ready soon. So then I'm thinking, hmmm.....
So I decide, maybe we will bring the potty out and let him sit on it and start thinking about it. Then the day came last week. He said, like he always does, "I'm poopting!"
So, I jumped on it and said, "Ok, let's sit on your potty."
He sat on it and he totally pooped in the potty! Then we took it in the bathroom and dropped it in the toilet and flushed it down.
Life went on as normal... No other potty business.... Until today. We got home this afternoon and lo and behold he needs to poopie again. He sat on the potty and went poopie!
So that makes twice in one week that he has gone poop in the potty. Fingers are crossed!
