Sidney's potty training

For those of you who don’t want to read about potties and babies and stuff please stop reading now.

 

Sidney started potting training last weekend.  We ended up taking his pants off in the house to help him train, and he did an amazing job – no accidents when his pants were off.  With pants on he had a few accidents, but less than we expected.

 

When he would go in the potty he was so excited… we would all jump up and down for him each time he went.

 

One time we were all high-fiving and yelling and he just sort of stopped, and looked at me and said “why are you yelling?” and I said “because I’m so happy” and he beamed.

On the bus!

Sidney wakes up... and puts himself back to bed

Last night at 3:20A I heard someone stomping (little kids don’t walk quietly. Ever) towards the bedroom. I opened my eyes and saw Sidney standing there.

“I’m awake” he said, simply.

“Go back to sleep Sidney,” I said. “It’s too early.”

So he did.

About three minutes later: stomp stomp stomp.

"It's too dark." (I had turned off the light in the spare bedroom).

"I know it is, sweetheart. It's late. Time for do-do."

He turned around and went back to bed.

I was dumbfounded.
