After months of sitting on the potty, with absolutely nothing happening, Brandon took the kids tonight and Xander got to buy a new potty. (Brandon and I had been discussing the inability for him to push correctly as he sat on the toilet seat and his legs sticking out, thus deciding to bite the bullet, which really isn't that much compared to a box of diapers.)
Walking in the door, Xander was already proud to show me his new potty. We set it up in the front room, and I asked if he wanted to sit on it, just to see how it works. He tried to sit down with his clothes on. I pulled off his pants and told him I wanted to really show him. Then he sat on it backwards, which was weird because it has a lid, so it was a little awkward for a second. So we turned him around. Then, he peed in it! You should have seen the surprise and shock on his own face. Then it turned into joy! and jumping up and down, and shouts of jubilation. Yes, still naked on the bottom half. He even threw in a couple 360's in his excitement. "I did it! I went caca in MY NEW POTTY!!" (even though it was really only pee). Isabela was just about excited as he was. She hugged him, kissed him, and wrapped her arms so tightly around him that we thought he might choke, and said, "I'm so proud of you." It came out high pitched with so much excitement, I think her voice cracked.
This memory from our little investment: PRICELESS!
