Pee Pee in the Potty!!

It's certainly a sign that we have entered a new phase of life when urine gets us excited. But we hit a milestone last night at the Edwards house when Trey went pee pee in the potty for the first time without coercion or fool tactics.

Trey was finishing dinner with a cup of milk, as usual, when he proclaimed "potty!" He has said this at the end of dinner pretty much every night for the past week, so we had no reason to believe he really meant that he wanted to use the potty. So, like most nights, we proceeded to the bathroom to get Trey ready for his bath, and we plopped him on the potty to sit and *try* to go potty. (We really aren't actively potty training at this point, just trying to get him used to the idea.) But this time, after a few minutes of sitting on the potty, Trey really did go pee pee! We didn't have to force him onto the potty, and we didn't have to pour warm water on him to get him to go - he went on his own!

We were so proud of the little guy that we forgot all about the disgusting dirty diaper he had come home with earlier. Ah, the little joys of parenthood.
