Big Boy Alex!

This is an amazing story that I just cannot pass up.... It happened about a month ago now. Alex seemed to be interested in going potty, so we decided to buy him a little potty to practice on. I found the one I wanted and picked it up on a Saturday... We were gone all weekend, but Monday morning I asked Alex if he would like to go on his potty, and he said "ah huh". He sat on his potty and we waited. Nothing came, but that was just fine. Then, in the evening Nate needed to go to Home Depot, so he took Alex and I stayed home with Anna. (That was nice:). On their way home, Alex said, "pee pee?", so Nate asked him, "Do you need to go pee pee?"...Alex answered, "ah huh". So Nate told him to wait and he could go on his potty when they got home in just a minute. As soon as they got home Nate raced him upstairs, pulled off his diaper, and sat him on the potty... I ran into the bathroom and witnessed Alex going "pee pee" on his potty for the very first time! We cheered and made a big deal of it. Alex was so proud. Then the next day, our friend Kristi was over and noticed Alex grunting off in a corner and told us, "just so you know, I think Alex is pooping." So we asked him if he wanted to go on his potty... at first he said no, but then he decided he did want to go. You will not believe this!... Nate took him upstairs and Alex went poo poo and pee pee on his potty!!! We were amazed! He is not potty trained yet, in fact, we really haven't been pushing it, but he is still interested and not afraid of the potty, which is great news! When "I" am ready, I think I'll get that book about potty training in a day.
