It's My Potty!

I know that as soon as I write this down I'm going to jinx it all, but I am super excited!  Today was Tyler's first day of potty training and he did such an excellent job.  He only had one accident all day.  (His aim was a little off of few times but it's ok because I put a towel under his potty.)  I put the potty in the living room to get him aquainted with it and he spent most of the day naked. I had him sit on the potty about every thirty minutes and around the second time around he peed in the potty as soon as he sat.  The first time he peed on the potty it took him awhile to go but when he did I got super excited and praised him up and down.  I did the potty dance and sang the potty song and gave him lots of high fives.  He was so happy and proud.  He now knows that if he sits on the potty, he needs to pee in it and he can force some out.  He also will tell you he needs to sit on the potty and he'll go pee a little.  He even pooped on the potty today!  He's so happy and he just sings the potty song and shakes his tush.  It's so cute!  I'm hopeful that today was not an anomaly and he really is catching on quickly.  It will make my life a lot more easy to not have to change diapers anymore and I'm going to love the extra money to spend on super cute clothes for my kids.
