Jack can officially open the door to the downstairs washroom! Daddy says that he has done this a few times already…however this is the first time I have witnessed it myself!
There is a “Jack potty” in there that I am trying to get him to sit on when I use the washroom...this….well… still a no go. We will continue to try and ask him to sit on his potty when we sit on the big “potty”- and I will continue to talk my way through the steps of going to “the potty” and inviting him to sit on his potty until one day he decides to try it his own. Up until today…he was more interested in shutting the door while you are in there, and finally today opening the door! Perhaps now that this is mastered “the door” he will be motivated or inclined to try the potty.

Jack sat on the potty today!!!!!!!!! Yeaaaaaay. FINALLY. I moved the potty back down to the main floor (where we usually are during the day) washroom (from his washroom upstairs), at the end of last week and I have been walking him through the steps of going to the washroom…from taking down pants to washing hands…and am I constantly saying “Mommy is going to the potty” as he always follows me right into the washroom – and then usually ends up shutting and then trying to open the door. Well, as he mastered that two days ago….today he actually sat on the potty!!!! So fun….big step for us. Jack NEVER EVER sits down unless he is strapped into his high chair, car seat or stroller! Next we will attempt the morning “poo poop on the potty”. Its just not always consistent…however it is obvious when he is having a BM.
For now….for the rest of this week…I think we will stick to sitting on the potty.

(I actually keep a log book as I dont always have time to enter things onto blog (slow computer!).
