"I pee!!"

So, potty training.  What a fun topic.  We bought Chase this lovely potty not long after he turned 2 because he'd started showing a little interest in peeing in the potty.

In those last few months, he's occasionally asked to sit on the potty and even peed a couple of times but has never told us he has to go...Until about a week ago.  Matt was out of town for work and Chase had gotten up pretty early so we were cuddling in bed when he started to sit up and said, "I pee."  This has been what he's said a lot when he's already peed (or pooped in his diaper) so I said "ok, let's go change you."  He said, "No.  I pee in the potty."  So I got excited, ran him into our bathroom to his potty, pulled down his pajamas and diaper and sat him down.  He sat there, smiling, really quietly listening...as he peed!  I never thought I'd get so excited about hearing the sound of pee.  I screamed and cheered and almost started crying (such a dork). 

Yesterday was another really good morning where he went a couple of times (where he initiated it himself) but then today, not so much.

At any rate, we're making HUGE progress towards potty training and I'm so freaking excited I can't stand it.  I'd love to think that the big box of 200 diapers I bought today at Sam's will be the last.  But that's probably not exactly the case.  We'll see.  :)
