Red Letter Day

It is a red letter day here on Pinecreek Way. Kaden went pee-pee in the potty!
I was in the shower and he asked to jump in. I asked him to strip down. He tore off his jammies and diaper. I opened up the shower curtain and he refused to come in. Well, past experience has taught me that I don’t allow him to runabout naked. I gave him two options: In the shower with me or get on his potty and stay put. He opted for his potty.

I poked my head out and checked on him. I had to remind him to sit back on the potty, which he did very quickly. I wrapped up my shower and see that a pile of toilet paper on the floor. As I always do I asked him if he went pee-pee in the potty. And as he always answers he replied, “Yes.” And to my surprise he did. He went pee-pee in the potty!

I was so excited. I was yelling and screaming in pure glee. He thought he was in trouble and started stepping back and frowning to begin crying. He soon understood the excitement. His frown turned to a smile. He was delighted with himself repeating ‘Pee-pee” and pointing to the potty. We instantly made two pee-pee in the potty phone calls to both Dad and GG who were at work. As he heard them answer he instantly smiled and with pride in his voice announced, "Hi! Pee-pee." Oh, how animated they both were with him. He felt good about this achievement.

I am keep good thoughts that we keep with the flow of things.
