Asa is doing AMAZING at potty-training! He rarely has any "accidents" anymore. And he is great about asking to go to the potty now. This is all very exciting and we are so incredibly proud of him. Of course, with potty-training comes new experiences for all of us...
Sunday morning I took Asa and Lexi with me to take Grammama grocery shopping at her local Walmart. As we got through shopping and checking out and were walking out of the store, Asa announced that he needed to use the potty. "Really... right now... right here?" is what I was thinking in my head. I had yet to prepare myself for the whole 'public restroom' thing. So I get Asa out of the cart and pause (if only for a second) as I actually had to think of what restroom to go in... duh! Decided the ladies restroom was more appropriate. Give me a break... I'm new to this! Found a stall, lined the toilet seat with protective paper (of course!) and removed shorts and underwear. Asa is too small still to stand up to the big potty. The paper on the seat kinda threw him for a loop, but that didn't even compare to the new and nifty feature of the self-flushing toilet. If you are laughing and wishing you had been there to see this... you would be correct! But wait there's more... He pottied, I got him re-dressed and after about 3 more minutes finally was able to pry him away from the toilet sensor that makes the toilet flush. Out of the stall we go to wash our hands. Again - something new and nifty called the water sensor feature in the sink, not to mention the sink that is as long as the play pool in our back yard. Hands washed are ready to dry... Yep, you guessed it... the automatic hand dryer!!! Can I tell you that for Asa this was probably more fun for him than the playground at McDonald's.
I was telling one of my co-workers the above story and was at that point warned that this is just the beginning. Now that he has had a taste of public bathrooms... he will need to go "potty" every time we are in a store now. It's a whole new, exciting adventure.
Lexi is not to far behind. At 1 1/2 she is telling us when she has "poo poo butt" and knows what pee-pee and the potty are. She especially likes to go in the bathroom when Asa is in there and observe him. Occasionally she will even sit on the little potty, fully clothed, just likes to sit on in it and knows that it's the potty. She's close though... we would love to have her trained before she turns 2 in Sept. That's our goal anway.
