Let the Potty Training Begin!!!

Christopher is 2 years 1 month and 2 days old

Gotta share our exciting news...

CHRISTOPHER PEED IN THE POTTY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER TONIGHT!!!!!

I've been sitting him on it on occasion, but tonight while we were playing before bedtime, he started grunting and I just knew he was pooping. I attempted to get him to the toilet in time, but it was a hopeless race since it takes time to get to him, pick him up, run to the bathroom, get the potty seat in place (the one that sits on the toilet), pull his pants down, take his diaper off and get him on the seat. HOWEVER, I DID manage to get him on it in time for him to PEE!!! It wasn't much, but it was enough to let him know that it was a reason to celebrate!

He got 2 M&M's as his reward. I know we've got a LONG road ahead of us, but at least we've started! (Can you tell I'm ecstatic??? ) I'm planning to go buy some Pull Ups this weekend!

Also wanted to share the video we took tonight right before he went potty. Christopher's catching a ball thrown by Daddy. Shad "fixed up" the video with our new Adobe Premier Elements. And, yes, he's on roller skates in the still-shot at the end (his birthday gift from my older sister, Christy):
