Here we go again...

I'm pretty sure that boy number one was just making his way out of diapers this time last year... and here we go again. Elliot has decided that he wants to go potty like his big brother.

For a month or so he has been sitting before bath for a moment or two, just imitating Owen, but this weekend I noticed him "assuming the position" and sat him on the potty, read to him and before you know it he had gone poop on the potty. At first it was a surprise to him, as much as it was to me, but after lots of clapping and "yeahs" from Mommy, Daddy and brother, he was quite proud of his new accomplishment. He went twice that day, and has gone on the potty twice more this week, even telling me last night during dinner that he needed to go!

I am beyond amazed at this point, and half expect it to be a phase that he passes through. However, I do have friends with potty training 2 year olds, and even though I would like to continue thinking of him as a baby, the 2 year mark is just a few months away. So I guess it is possible that he is ready? We shall see!

For now we are happily re-visiting cloth diapering during the day, a disposable diaper at night, and the occasional outside time with undies on. And it just so happens he has about the cutest underwear bottom I have ever seen!

(It's fun for all when Daddy bring's home stage lights!)

I could just squeeze him!
