Could This Really Be It...

We have not been "potty-training" per say. We do have a little potty in our downstairs bathroom for Samuel to get used to using and until today it wasn't working real well. So, after breakfast as I was cleaning up I heard Isaiah ask where Sam was. I had no idea because I thought he was laying in the floor watching cartoons. Then, I hear Sam say, "I'm in here (the bathroom)! I'm just goin' potty!" I dropped what I was doing and ran to the bathroom expecting to find pee all over the floor. To my surprise, Sam met me at the door, pulling up his pull-up, and said, "I went pee-pee in my wittle potty!" He showed me and sure enough he HAD! And, there wasn't a drop on the floor! YEA! I praised him and then gave him a few M&Ms. After snack time this afternoon, I smelled something and asked Sam if he was poopie? He said, "No." I didn't really believe him and was going to change him after I cleaned up from our snack. Again, Sam was no where to be found downstairs after I finished clean up. I heard his little voice come from the bathroom again and this time he said, "Mommy, I went poopie in my wittle potty!" I ran over and he HAD (and pretty big might I add)!!! I screamed with glee and told him how very proud I was! Isaiah came running in to see and then gave him a big hug and expressed his excitement too! Sam said, "Yeah, now I get a whole bowl of M&Ms!" This is true. Pee-pee is rewarded with a few M&Ms and poopie is rewarded with a "whole bowl" which translates into a small snack-size bowl of M&Ms. The bowl is not full but to him it is because it's more than 2 or 3!!! Anyhow, we are VERY excited and hopeful that this is the beginning of potty training for our little guy!

Oh! Isaiah had a milestone as well (while he was in Lubbock). He lost his first tooth! I've attached a pic! I did not attach a pic of Sam's poopie as I was pretty sure you all would not want to see that!

Side note: Yes, I've changed my blog background AGAIN!!! Yes, I do this a lot! I am like this in life as well. I like to change things. Sometimes that's good and sometimes not so good. But I think it's safe to say that changing the background on my blog is "good." However, I do like this one so it will probably hang around until April.
