We broke down and bought Dominic his own potty over the weekend and it has really helped him in asserting his full independence. The one he used before sat on top of the big potty and he had to be lifted up on it, therefore needing our help any time he needed to go. The down side to this new potty is that he seems to think that he is responsible for dumping the contents of the little potty into the big one....which always happens in a hurry since he is trying to beat me to the punch. I am waiting for the day that it gets dumped on the floor. So far he has done pretty good at hitting his target. Although he has been known to dump it out before he is finished going....which is a bit weird.
As you can see from the picture his new potty is a very comfortable place to be.

A potty of his own

Looks a lot like Mex! I think the same potty, and he also likes to read at the toilet!
Love C
Is completely out of diapers, then? Way to go! We're working with Timmy, still. He'll be 3 in June and that's when we leave for Italy, so I'm really hoping we can get it done. He's so close! He's more likely to ask to use the potty when we're out in public than at home because then he's too busy playing with his toys. But, some days he asks to wear underwear (and pees through 5 pairs before I give up again). Any tips that worked especially well for you??
Oh, and we've actually put Timmy in charge of dumping his out potty. We've shown him how to carry it slowly, pour it slowly, then rinse it out in the tub (I have to wash it often!), and then put it back and wash his hands. He'll do it all by himself! -- But, this is only pee, because he's only pooped once in it.
Just love that photo of sweet Dominic. He makes multi-tasking seem so easy! Love Grandma Mary
