Day 156 - Potty/Father's Day

Tonight during our fabulous Father's Day dinner Sam gave Ben the best gift ever.

The gift of potty.

I've been working with him a little bit here and there but Sam just has not seemed interested in going potty.  At all.  I sit him on his little seat before he takes a bath and such but he never actually does anything.

Tonight during dinner, he walked into the bathroom.  When Ben checked on him, he was climbing onto the toilet.  Fully clothed.  He proceeded to tell Ben, "Pee Pee" so Ben took off his pants and diaper. Apparently, you have to be completely naked to go potty because Sam insisted his shirt had to come off as well.  Once the details had been taken care of he climbed up and proceeded to do his business.

We were shocked.  Needless to say there was lots of clapping and cheering.  He even got a special Cars truck from Mom's toy stash.  The battery truck to be specific. You know, "Mack? I ain't no MackI'm a Peterbilt for dang sake! Turn on your lights, ya moron!"

Anyway, imagine our excitement when he did it for a second time before bed! Ben said his favorite part was when he heard me say, "Sam you're missing the toilet and I don't even care."

So in celebration of his accomplishment here is a picture of Sam throwing away a diaper.  Not for real though.  Those things are expensive and I'm sure we'll still be using them for at least a little while longer.
