"Go Potty"

It’s the first day back to "normal" life after a very busy holiday season. I’m home trying to organize a little bit, and I just came across a special message on one of Cole’s Toddler Daily Activity Reports from The Goddard School, dated 01/02/07 (2 days after his 2nd birthday):

"Cole asked Ms. Shari ‘Go Potty’ and he did. What a big boy."

I immediately called Goddard to clarify what this meant. We’ve done NO potty training with him, so I was about to be floored if he managed to get any pee or poop in the potty on his first crack at it. What he did was SIT (not shit) on the potty. I guess all his friends are doing it and now he wants to do it to. This marks the first time Cole has ever sat on a potty. Santa brought him a potty for Christmas, which is all set up in our bathroom ready to go, so we’re going to have to encourage him to get on it (instead of just throwing his balls in it). Guess he’s officially TWO now.

P.S. While I’m recording milestones, December was the month in which Graham learned to sit-up (at 6 months of age). Go G! My babies are getting so big!
