February 25

Will likes to sit on the toilet rather than his potty chair, which is a problem since we have to hold him up. Today Will got his new stepladder/potty chair combo that fits right in front of the commode. He was SO excited. Here's a recap of how it went: up the ladder, sit and wait, down the ladder, back up, try to turn around on the seat, climb down, back up the ladder, try to sit backwards on the seat, down again, move the ladder, back up, sit, try to go to the bathroom but get too excited, turn around to see if anything is in the toilet yet. Nope. Sit some more and actually go to the bathroom. Get down, move the ladder, fold up the ladder, try to sit on it folded, fall down. Get drug out of the bathroom by mom to get a big boy diaper on. Mom is almost successful until Will yells, "pee pee!" Back in the bathroom to do it all over again. At least he really had to go and wasn't just trying to play with his new toy again. (We're happy with the purchase...it gives Will the independence he needs to go to the bathroom by himself even if it does make going to the bathroom a nearly 10 minute affair.)
