And then there was Poop...
Oh yeah, baby!!
I just received a call from my precious boy (I am at work today) and he was shouting, "Mommy! I did it! I made chocolate poopie! IN THE POTTY!!! I did it!"
Yes, he calls it chocolate poopie - because, well....well, you know why. And he has decided not to flush it so that I can see it when I get home. Is that priceless, or what?
I am just so proud! I am bursting!! And kudos to my mom who is at our house with him today on somehow accomplishing this amazing feat.
I gotta tell you, I never thought I'd see this day. Especially not this soon. After our ordeal a couple months ago, I had a sinking feeling that we might have the first High School grad in diapers. (I kid, I kid...) Praise God that he is a God who cares about something as mundane as potty training. Each time Jack sits on the potty, we've been asking God to help him relax and to help Mommy and Daddy be patient. He is so Faithful!
edited to add the above photo at 2:51 pm: I was greeted at the door by a very proud and excited little boy. We both ran to the bathroom so that he could show off his accomplishment. I snapped this right after the "flush". He couldn't wait to "send it to Nemo in the ocean", but wanted to make sure Mommy saw it first.
Jack, I love you. You are the most awesome little person I have ever known!

Hooray for Jackson!
Way to go, Jack!!! And yes, I find comfort in the fact that God cares about the "little things", because to Jack, this is a big deal. I am so proud for you! Love you.
Hey! I was just reading through some of your old posts and I saw that Phillip's dad is called Grandbuddy. That is what we called my great-grandfather! I have never heard anyone else use it and it brought tears to my eyes! My dad wanted to be called that, but he said he couldn't take that name because it was so special to him. Does he still call him that? Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that. Later!
YEAH JACK!!! We are all excited for you. Have you been wearing your buzz lightyear underwear? I'm sure he gave you the extra power to overcome this potty business:)
Hooray for Mommy too! It is just as much your accomplishment as his.
Yeah Jacko!!! we are so proud of you--can't wait to give you a BIG hug in person!!!
Wow!He looks like such a big boy in that picture. Maybe it is the pride beaming out of his eyes. Congrats to you both!
YEA JACK!!! Can you come over and show Emmy how it's done? We've got pee-pee down (M&M's are a great incentive), but she hides under the table and grunts while you-know-whating... ;o)
