Turner did it!

Today was a big day for Turner.

We've all been harassing him for a while, telling him he should use the potty. Last week, Mom got Hazel some new underwear when Hazel stopped wearing Pull-Ups to bed at night. Mom also got some for Turner and told him he could have them when he uses the potty.

Then last night he told Mom he wanted to wear underwear. She said he could try in the morning, but only if he'd try using the potty first. After breakfast this morning, she gave him a new book starring his hero, Elmo, and told him he can only read it when he's sitting on the potty. He was super excited and started taking off his jeans right away.

After reading the book for a really long time, Mom put a Curious George video on for him and told him he could get off the potty whenever he wanted, but if he wasn't on the potty, she was turning off the video. After a while, he told Mom he was ready to put his pants back on because he was finished -- he had peed in the potty!

Hazel and Mom told Turner how proud they are and Mom gave him a new book as a prize. Then Turner called Dad at work to tell him the good news, and Dad told Turner how proud he is of him. When I came home from school and heard all about it, I told him I'm proud too.

Turner tried again in the afternoon, to no avail, but we know he'll do it again soon. At least he is trying.

We're all very proud and super excited for our little guy. Here's to more progress in the potty department! Yay Turner!
