hows about alittle poopy on the toilet

Well, well well we had quite a celebration at our house yesterday. Nothing to do with celebrating our countries Independence day or anything... BIGGER THAN THAT...Eli had his first poop on the toilet! We first bought him a little toilet about 3 months ago and he likes to sit on it while we are in the bathroom, and then lately he has been asking to go pee or poo and so we rush into the bathroom. Most the times he was scared to get onto big toilet, but we bribed him with candy. So every time he will sit on the toilet he gets a treat. A couple of days ago we ran into the bathroom and he peed on the floor- so close. But then yesterday, he said poo poo and we made it the the toilet just in time! We probably scared him with how much we all cheered for him and showered him with treats. We aren't "potty training" exactly right now, but just leaving it available for him. He isn't even 2 yet, and I think if we really pushed him we could be lookin at a year of struggle. So we will let him go when he asks for now. Eric did miss the milestone, I saved the poopy for him though... I am TOTALLY joking... that would be disgusting.

congratulations. er, I mean, what do you say when someone poops on the toilet for the first time? lol. I can't believe that little Eli is old enough to use a toilet, I'm afraid he'll be driving before you know it! Hey, thanks for the link on your blogroll :) love you.
