Today I purchased a toddler potty for Bennett. He has been telling me for weeks now when he needs to use the bathroom--not consistently, but regularly--so I thought I should go ahead and let him try with a potty of his own. I purchased one that my sister, Laura, recommended. It is the Fisher Price potty that makes noises, has a pretend flushing handle and toilet paper roll, and praises the child whenever they use it. It also sings songs about flushing and toilet paper use. It's a pretty clever little potty, I must say.
Anyway, I can't get Bennett off of it! He keeps telling me "poop, poop" just so I will let him go sit on it. He actually did do #1 in it today, so I clapped and praised him right along with the potty. However, as soon as I put him in the bath tub for a bath, he did it again. Oh well--we're making progress. He cried for several minutes when I finally made him get into the tub, telling me, "poop, pee!" I then put him back on the potty, but he just smiled, sat there, and flushed the handle a few times.
Maybe it is just the fact that this is a new toy that has made him so enthusiastic. I just hope and pray the enthusiasm continues. If not, we'll postpone potty training until he is ready.

Andrew's potty didn't have a flush handle on it...either they have improved it or it is a different one (he has the "Royal Throne" potty). Anywho, Bennett wanted me to change his diaper today (again) while I was changing Cole. Holly, NO COMPLAINING about diaper changes. He lays so still for me and even ASKS me to do it :-) HAHA.
Your son is going to kill you one day for posting this about him! Just show it to his future bride... she will love it! It is hilarious though!
