I’ve mentioned that Josh and I got Jude a BabyBjörn potty chair in the hopes that one day he’ll potty learn and we’ll be relieved of our diaper changing/diaper washing duties (doody! ha!). Up until Friday night, Jude hadn’t paid much attention to the potty chair, though he had sat on it, fully clothed, a few times. However, after Josh left for his retreat on Friday, Jude pee’d and pooped on the potty! It was amazing… well, as amazing as poop and pee can be, at least. Yesterday he pee’d on the potty twice-one time even alerting me to the fact that he needed to use it. Today, the same: he pee’d on there twice and alerted me once.

I’m excited that Jude is starting along his potty learning journey. I’m not expecting miracles. If he is diaper-free by the time he turns three, I’ll be thrilled. Any earlier would just be icing on the poop cake.

Now that Jude has shown some interest in using his potty, I’m looking forward to warm weather even more than I was before. Warm weather means lots of nakey time, and I’m hoping that being sans pants will make it easier for Jude to do his thing on his own.

Did everyone catch that I referenced a “poop cake?” Cause that’s just funny…
