Riley used the potty! Yea!!

Maybe...just maybe...Kelly and I will get the Christmas present of not having to buy 2 types of diapers! But I'm not holding my breath! Although it definitely seems like we are starting to "turn a corner" with Riley...and he's dictating it. Kelly and I both backed off on all the potty talk when it became apparent Riley wasn't ready. I'll drop it into normal conversation here and there...like when you use the big boy potty you can wear your Star Wars underwear - that I have in the drawer right by his "wake up" diaper (pull ups) so he sees them every morning. 

Then one night last week...we went somewhere and Riley was going to bed really late...but he said I want to potty on the potty. I thought just so he could get out of bed ONE MORE TIME! But he sat on the potty and even went through the motions of wiping! LOL! But in the end said I can't Mommy! So we just move right along.

Then all of the sudden yesterday - he literally stripped ALL his clothes off and went to sit on the potty. Kelly and I figured it was another false alarm, and he likes his privacy so we just stayed away....and lo and be hold! He goes to the potty! Of course, he forgot to "hold his business" down so he peed all over the floor and everything, but I'll take it!! Later last night when I was putting his lotion on him after bath, he held his wee-wee down and said - I have to hold it down like this when I potty Mommy. So....stay tuned in the never ending story of when Riley will finally be potty trained!

Unfortunately, he hasn't mentioned it again since....
