Exciting signs for potty training:)

Okay, so we are super excited that Hugh showed some big boys signs of being interested about the potty last night. Before getting into his bath, I asked him if he wanted to sit on the potty. As usual, he said 'no Mommy no' - which is one of his favorite phrases these days. I reminded him that we do not go pee pee in the bathtub because that makes the water yucky and won't get us clean in the bath. He said, 'okay Mommy'. A few minutes later while we were playing, he stopped and said, "Mommy I need to go potty". I asked if he wanted to go on the toilet - which he has not wanted to do in months. He said "Yes". Soaking wet, I pulled him from the tub to sit on the potty. Of course, it was the big potty and he was slipping everywhere, but it didn't matter. Right? :) 10 seconds later, I hear the sound of pee hitting the toilet. The glow on both of our faces was priceless. I told him how proud Mommy was of him and told him he could get some jelly beans (his favorite) after his bath. About five minutes later in the tub again, he says "Mommy, I have to go potty". I asked him again about going on the toilet and he said "yes!". Again, he went potty in the toilet. Let's just say Momma was a happy gal and Hugh, Collin and Mommy celebrated with lots of dancing in our small hall bathroom:) Daddy was out running, so I told Hugh that when he got back we needed to tell Daddy what he did so Daddy could help us get the jelly beans. The moment Daddy opened the door, Hugh told him (in the most exciting 2 year old boy voice) about going on the potty not once, but twice. Daddy, of course, was in disbelief, yet so excited for our big man. I think Hugh got more jelly beans last night in one sitting than he's ever had. We know that this will all still take time, but hoping this is a great sign for what is to come!!! :) Yay!!!
