Potty Time!!

Ryan went potty today by himself! Last night I asked him to sit on the potty before his bath, while I ran the water. He always pees as soon as he gets in and tells me he's doing it - so I wanted to see if he could do it before hand. But he didn't. Tonight, I took his diaper off and told him to go into the bathroom. He wasn't there more than 5 seconds when he started peeing on the floor! Of course, I yelled at him to stop - that we pee in the potty and in diapers - not on the floor. So when the bath was over, he sat on the potty while I dried the rest of him off. And low and behold, he peed! I was so proud. I had told him yesterday that when he pees in the potty he gets to do all the things that he likes about the bathroom - use toilet paper, flush the toilet and wash his hands - so he was happy to get to do all of it. We're not really potty training yet, due to upcoming trips and his lack of talking. But after the holidays, I'm thinking of starting full force. I'm just excited he did it now!
