i pee.

i will refrain from putting this entire post in capital letters...but tonight something big happened.

something really, really big!

PRATT PEED IN THE POTTY!

it started like this. his normal bedtime is 8 pm. but when i tried to put him to bed tonight, he kept crying, "daddy! daddy!" and i just caved. all i could think about was how clint had only been home for 2 hours. and so i gave in. well, he lay with clint on the couch watching idol. he eventually got bored and grabbed one of his books. his potty book from jerrod, brandi and baylor.

it talks about being a big kid and peeing in the potty. about how diapers are used for babies. and when you get big, you use the potty. he loves the book. clint read it maybe once. and at the end of it, he looked up at clint and said, "i pee. i pee".

well, clint being the best dad ever, helped him off the couch and took him in the bathroom to pee. he took his diaper and pajama pants off and sat him up on the big potty. after about 20 seconds, i told him that i'd run up and get his frog potty.



so here they are. trying on the big boy potty.

i grabbed his frog potty and we sat him on it.



and then clint said something that i loved. he said, "pratt, sometimes when i potty, i like to read magazines."

enter this...



and apparently that did it.

we waited probably two minutes. and nothing happened. he just kept sitting there. clint got up to go back to the living room and i was sitting outside the bathroom texting my parents and spencer and nana the pictures when all of a sudden, pratt jumped up, threw his hands up and exclaimed, "I PEE! I PEE!"

i looked down and sure enough...this is what i saw...



and yes. i totally took a picture of the pee. and if you're making fun of me it's because you haven't ever had your child pee in his potty.

honestly. i jumped up and ran around the house screaming and clapping and yelling. and so did pratt. he got so excited that he tried to take the pee to show his daddy!!!

now. i know that this is going to bite me in the butt. and backfire on me. clint says we shouldn't say anything because he will be 4 and still crapping his pants.

oh well. i'll risk it. i was so proud of him tonight. he was so excited about it. i was so excited about it too.

but all at the same time, it's hard to believe that my little baby is old enough to pee in a potty. time really does fly.
happy thursday!

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
