The wife and I purchased a brand new potty for the little one today. It’s pretty snazzy, if I must say myself. It’s sports a cute little transformable stool for him to stand on (no, not that kind of stool), a pee shield, and works in either a standalone manner or as part of our bigger, much more adult-sized toilet. We’re a little excited.

Now we are quite aware that we (and, ahem, quite possibly Cam as well) is ahead of schedule but he’s been giving us unmistakable signals that he’s ready to start leaving the whole sit in my feces things behind. For example, today he peed in our toilet 4 separate times.

The great thing about it is that he has such a good time doing it. Congratulations rain down from his parents as he gets up, flushes the toilet, and waves the pee pee goodbye. A good time is had by all. Don’t worry. The festivities are bound to be more subdued in about twenty years.

We’re pretty realistic about his chances of success with his newfound toy — we’ve read a bit about the normal timetable and we haven’t really approached the whole subject of number 2 quite yet. But, hey, I have no trouble getting the party started a little early, especially when that party could signal a temporary stoppage of my diaper changing duties.
