Potty Training

So yesterday we had an unexpected start to potty training. I have been meaning to start and was going to about 2 weeks ago and then I realized I had appointments that would interrupt it so I postponed until after my family visited but then I came down with that nasty sickness of which I'm still recovering and I thought, well once I'm better I will. Then yesterday Grant was running around naked because he was air drying after having sat in water from the sand box and hose on. So he's running around and I decided to vacuum the kitchen, bathroom, and his bedroom. While I'm in his room I see him sitting on his little potty (which he always does) in the kitchen.  Then he said, "I went pee pee mommy!" I didn't really believe him because he always pretends to go and announces it. I turned off the vacuum and went to check just in case and viola! He went! No accident on the way either. I praised him and emptied the potty and let him flush and had him tell Grandma Flora, Grandpa Jim, Aunt Megan, and Daddy about his new experience.  He was so proud. About an hour later he went a little more. Just for everyone's sake I will tell you he did have an accident when we were playing downstairs. I forgot to point out where we placed the potty so he would have easy access. But a good learning experience to point out the potty and to teach him not to be happy about going on the carpet. So this hasn't been flawless.

I'm proud of him but even more so shocked that I was busy and not even thinking about him going to the potty. He didn't need me to watch his cues, he just knew when he needed to go. Now time for a poop and today I guess we will continue this potty training thing. I'm almost glad he shoved me into it because it is always better self lead and I have been praying to know when the right time would be for scheduling and what not. I already knew he was ready.

And a silly video we took of Grant the other day. He started doing this on his own and Perry was just trying to encourage it for taking a video.
