And Riley did it in the potty!!!
Riley consistently poops during the first 15-30 minutes of his nap, which is right after his lunch by our schedule, so Chris and I thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to try and get him to potty right after lunch and before his nap. So today I plopped him on that potty and he was so excited (he's been on there one or two times before...during bath time when he said he needed to poop...but never did anything). I just said, "Okay baby, go poop in the potty" and he started grunting and scrunching his face like he was going, then he said, "I finished". I didn't think he did anything, but sure enough, when I got him down there it was! He was so proud of himself (of course, not nearly as proud as his mommy!), and he even flushed and watched it go 'bye bye'.
I have posted a picture on my pics blog, so be sure to check it out!!! I'm just kidding! Ha ha, don't worry! No pictures were taken of this momentous occasion, but I just had to blog about it! I'm sure there will be more 'potty' moments shared over the next few months. I'm not sure how 'full speed' we will proceed from here, I figured I'll just start by getting him on there before and after meals, bedtimes and baths and see how it goes. No pressure, as it's a little sooner than we planned, but we just thought it was the perfect opportunity to see how it went. Our little boy is growing up! What's next after potty training? Learning how to ride a bike?!

Congrats Riley! It's so funny what's exciting when you become a mom, isn't it? If I had seen this post a few years ago, I would have thought you had lost it...but now I'm like, "How awesomely easy was that? I hope Jake does so well!" Too funny. I hope he keeps up the good work!
Perfect timing! Good job mom! Yay for the pooper! (haha) ;-)
It IS such a big accomplishment!! Jackson and Jenna peed in the potty no problem it was the pooping that took forever!!! Good job Riley!!!
