Guess who's doing wees in the potty?

 
Well it certainly isn't Oliver yet! Nope.

Elliot surprised the heck out of us the other day when he asked for the potty when Paul was changing his nappy. We ran and got the potty and would you believe that he had a wee!?!? Now he's asked for the potty and had a wee in it a handful of times, and now Paul and I are quickly reading up about potty training. To be honest, we weren't even going to attempt this next milestone until we settled in with Oliver, but since Elliot is asking for it, I guess we better follow his lead! I swear this kid, gets a kick out of keeping us on our toes!

Any sage advice on making this process as painless and stress-free as possible would be gratefully accepted.

Reward him big each and every time.

Yipee...way to go Elliot!

You are your Mother's son. She potty trained herself at 18 months. I had nothing to do with it. It was all her. But she had a big brother to learn from and you are doing it all on your own.

You are amazing. Keep those parents of yours on their toes. It's good for them.

Love your US Gramma

Sounds like Elliot has everything sussed out by himself. He is one smart kid.

Way to go Elliot!! Finn figured it out by himself too (and a little help from gummy bears, we'd hide them in the living room each time and he LOVED hunting for them). Katy was anther story all together. After a very stressful potty training days/weeks/months, she announced she would use the potty when she turned nine. Thankfully it didn't take that long!!
