It's Starting!

He's finally starting! First thing in the morning, Joey looks at me and says, "I want to pee in the toilet."

We've been pushing it a little bit for the week or so, ever since I plopped him on the toilet post-bath and he peed (probably by accident, but that's never the point). He knows that he gets candy if he pees, so that little dude tries. I don't know if it's a sweet tooth or just a real appreciation of reward - personally, I'm going with sweet tooth - but the possibility of candy sets him dancing. Literally. Last night he did his first pee-get candy-immediately ask to pee again. We are so excited we don't know what to do with ourselves, and it's fantastic that he's so excited, too.

Soon, soon, no more handling of other people's poop. That day can't come soon enough.

Daydreams Aren't Always Dreamy

"Why not?"
