Progress on the Potty

While Noah is not yet "potty trained" he has made some significant advancements. First, the number of messes has dramatically decreased. The really good news, though, is that twice today he was "caught" in the bathroom trying to take his underwear off and get on the potty. That is two times that he knew he had to go and didn't wait to be taken.

What I think is so humorous is the difference between Mihaela and Noah. Mihaela asks permission to do everything. Even stuff she is always allowed to do (like go to the bathroom), she seeks approval first. While she potty trained very easily, we would never have caught her trying to go. She would've asked to be taken. Noah, on the other hand, doesn't ask permission to do anything, even stuff he knows he should. He just gets it in his mind to do it, and off he goes.
