Day 1, bed time - Success!!

Hooray!  We have another win to chalk up to our big boy!  I sat him on the potty before his bath and then ran downstairs to get his toothbrush (daddy likes to brush his teeth in the master bath).  When I came back up, I brushed his teeth then picked him up to put him in his bath.  Low and behold, there was liquid in the potty!  Mommy did an exuberant dance with singing and clapping. I'm not sure he really knew what he'd done but he loved the singing and clapping.  Then, like before, we emptied out the potty into the big potty and Henry got to flush it.  I tried to give him a goldfish graham cracker but he spat it out.  So I tried giving him a marshmallow.  He spat that out, too. Then I tried a sticker.  He stuck it to his tummy then said, "No, nooooo..." so I helped him get it off.  And we 'potty danced' back up stairs.  We're going to try m&ms tomorrow and if that doesn't work, well then we'll just keep up the dancing.  My boy doesn't really like sweets.  Go figure.  Hooray for pee pee in the potty!!

Tomorrow, I'm going to try to pay closer attention so I know when he's doing it.  It's not very effective if he has no idea what he's doing that's making mommy so happy.  Obviously, he'll get it at some point but he's really trying so hard that I feel like I'm failing him when I'm not helping him succeed.  What a sweet boy we have.  :)  xoxo Henry, baby.
