Potty Time

Lincoln has been introduced to the whole potty thing some time ago.  Ever since he thinks it's pretty cool...occasionally sitting on the potty and yelling for everyone to come see.  He had a few successful tries, but usually just being on the potty was exciting enough.  This Christmas, he was given Elmo Potty Time, which he is fascinated by.  He learned to tell us everytime he goes potty in his diaper...just like Elmo does.  You can just see the wheels turning in his little head everytime he watches.  Typically those wheels wouldn't be a good thing...

Yesterday, I decided to get a cheap froggy potty from Wal-Mart just to see where this went.  We don't have intentions of training him yet but I think it's in the near future...[any suggestions welcome!]  Excitement was an understatment when he saw this cheap little $12 thing.  He carried it home and had to try it out immediately.  Off came the shoes, the pants, the diaper...and even the socks.  He sat on the potty in the living room (gross, I know...but it was so darn cute), in his bedroom, and then in the bathroom.  Of course Elmo had to try too.  That night, Lincoln was successful twice...and so very proud.  The following morning he went again.  We have high hopes for training time...I'm sure easier said then done.  But for now, we'll consider ourselves successful.
