Beginning Potty Training




I have been able to tell when Cooper goes to the bathroom for the last couple of months and he is understanding when I tell him it is time to change his diaper. Though I don't think he is ready to be fully potty trained yet, I thought it would not be a bad idea for him to get use to the idea of sitting on the potty. So just whenever I have a few extra minutes we sit him on the potty and wait! Nothing has happened so far but this morning I think we made a connection. He woke up and I changed him then sat him down and he walked right into the bathroom and pulled out his potty. He brought it into the living room and wanted to sit on it. So I took off his diaper and sat him on it for about 15 minutes he just sat there watching his morning show and drinking his sippy of milk. About 2 hours later he went and sat on it himself and when I went over to take off his diaper he had just gone poop. So I am not sure how much of it he is totally understanding but I think we are off to a good start. I don't think I will begin to press till he gets to 2, but if something should happen on a few of these test runs we are just ahead of the game :)
