He's finally ready.

 After a few months of encouragement and anxiousness, Connor is finally ready to start potty training!! We've been asking/encouraging him for a while now about using the potty. We got him a potty book that makes the sound of the toilet flushing and a kid laughing and since he loves CARS, Cary got him a CARS seat that sits on top of existing toilet seat. He was really excited when we showed it to him and wants to read his potty book almost every night before bed. About a week and a half ago, he finally asked to sit on the potty before bed. We waited....nothing happened. We repeated this every night for the next week or so. FINALLY, a couple of nights ago CONNOR PEED IN THE POTTY!!! He has only done it a couple more times so we are still in the very beginnings of this. We are still working on pooping. He always poops right after I put him down for nap, so I then have to change him or he will not go to sleep. We think he has figured out how to hold it until after we put him, so that we will come in and change him, thus prolonging his nap. Clever little booger. So we decided to try putting him on the potty before nap time as well to encourage to poop in the potty instead of in his diaper. We were hoping to have him potty trained before Chloe arrived, but at least we have a good start. Cary will be off the entire month of September after we have her, so he is going to work more intensely with Connor. Since he will be home all day, he will be able to take him to the potty more often during the day so that he will learn to tell us when he feels the need to go. Please pray for us as continue in the new adventure.
