Last night when heading to brush his teeth Keegan asked to take his potty out of the box. So we took it out and assembled it and then he played with the lid for while. This morning he spent some more quality time playing with it. I figured, "Great. At least he wants anything to do with it." I conveyed this to Tom in an email today. Tonight at Tom's house Keegan asked to take the potty out of the box and Tom assembled and put it in his bathroom. When Tom went in to use the toilet himself Keegan followed and asked to use his potty. Lo and behold he sat down and peed. I know this because Tom called me immediately afterwards and I could hear Keegan in the background yelling, "I peed! I peed!" So we celebrated this together and talked about not rushing him and we'll still let him call the shots. I know my son and he will definitely be the type to make this about control if we force it. But still it is pretty cool.

Wow! That's a wonderful first step! Maya likes to 'play' potty, but she hasn't actually gone on the potty yet. Time will bring it, I am sure. Yay again! Go Keegan! :)
YAY Keegan! I think this deserves a treat! Slow and steady, but it just goes to show how good it was for you to let him call the shots with potty use.
That's a big step! Good for him-and I think you guys are handling it great...letting Keegan call the shots. But now that he's done it once, you can't help but be excited...I know myself-the second I hear the pee hit the little bucket here, I'll be calculating how much I'll be saving in diapers, lol! :)
Wahooo! Pee pee in the potty! LOL
Maybe Keegan snuck online and read about Max?
Yay, yay, way to go! Isn't it exciting??? (And yes, I'm totally with you, let him take the lead.)
