So, we really haven't been doing much in the way of potty training. Every once in a while we will put him on but we are usually too late or catch him in a time of un-necessity. We stripped him down for the tub today, and then while I was looking away, he said, "Oooops," and was looking down. I followed his eyes. There were wet dots on the carpet. Not knowing exactly what they were (they very well could have been drips from my shoes, we had just gotten inside from a very wet day outside and he stepped on them...) I asked, "Do you need to go potty?" he agreed almost immediately, and we headed on in, me not even sure if this would even be worthwhile.
After a minute or less of sitting, he said he was done, and it was empty. I figured it was just a false alarm again anyway. I was about to put him in the tub before the water got too cold, but then he said he needed to go. I sighed to myself, and to please him, set him on and left for a little bit. I didn't want to sit on the floor waiting like usual. Eventually, he said he was all done and that he went potty. I was pulled to the computer screen at that point (lame excuse) and was halfway talking to him. Rocket Scientist came in then (from putting out some garbage), and I gave him a quick run down of what I thought was happening in the bathroom. Rocket Scientist then proceeded to say (after he went in there) that Bug had in fact gone potty. I came out of my computer stupor and was way shocked. I went into the bathroom to give a round of fives to help encourage this kind of behavior from now on. I was quite proud of my little Bug.
