Day 6, am - Home (and out and about) with Daddy

This morning, I was still home at 7 am when Henry got up, so I went up to get him.  I put him on the potty right away and then went into my bathroom to get ready.  A few minutes after I sat him there, I heard little foot stomps running around, so I went back into the living room to see what was going on.  I found him sitting happily on the steps to upstairs, watching the iPad.  The potty was peed in.  Again, baby boy went in the potty, realized he'd gone, probably came looking for me to tell me but didn't know where I was and decided he didn't need to be on it any longer.  What a good boy he is.  :)  We flushed it and then brought it in with me while I continued to get ready so that he could try a little longer.  I've found that most times, he goes a little bit then thinks he's done but he's actually not.  So I had him sit for a bit longer -- especially since he hadn't pooped -- and sure enough, he went a TON.  This time he didn't tell me, though.  After awhile, when I got him up, I asked him if he'd gone pee pee again and he said yes. When I looked, I couldn't believe how much he'd gone. Just tons.  So we dumped it in the potty, flushed it, and waved bye bye before getting a waffle for breakfast.  I set the timer so we could try pooping again before he left for gymnastics.

I left shortly after, so I don't know how the rest of the morning went.  He had gymnastics at 9 am with daddy and then they had to run to Walmart to pick up a bean bag chair for Henry's big boy room and to Montessori to pick up our CSA delivery for the week.  All in all, I expect them to be out for about 2.5 hours.  I don't know what daddy ended up doing.  Did he bring the potty with him?  Did he bring the seat so Henry could try on the big potty?  Did he just say "forget it" and not bother trying?  I hope it's not the last one, but who knows?

All in all, I think Henry boy is doing a great job.  He's more successful at home than he's been at Grandma's or Aunt Amy's, but I suspect it's because he's trained mommy and daddy better than he's trained the others.  I'm guessing we're more trained at this point than he is, though I do think he's learning.  He's still not really telling us when he has to go, but it's not been a week yet so I'm not too worried.  Yet.  The websites I've referenced say that, if they're not telling you they need to go within a few weeks, then it's probably time to stop and try again in a couple of months.  But again, we're just in the first week so I'm hoping he'll be ready to tell us by the end of next week if not sooner.  Fingers crossed!!!
