Nicky went potty for the first time today! I couldn’t believe it – I think I just happened to catch him at the right time. He didn’t sit for very long at all before he pooped and peed! Chuck wasn’t home at the time, and I was so excited that I took a picture to show him because I didn’t think he’d believe me otherwise. (I think that photo will be kept private.) I asked my mom what to do next, since I don’t want to push him if he’s not ready yet, and she suggested putting him on the potty after he wakes up in the morning and from naps to see if he catches on.
I put him on after his nap even though he’d already gone, but he sat well for me. I also put him on while I ran his bath tonight, and he peed! I could see the look of realization on his face as he went, too, which was great! I’m not sure if this means that we’ll be full-on potty training quite yet, since he’s not even 14 months old (!), but I’ll definitely be going out this week to pick up some training pants for us to get started with.
