So we have found that because George has been watching and learning baby signs since he was a little that he often loves to narrate our lives and one of his favorite things to do is come into the bathroom and sign “potty” and watch. Thinking that this is good behavoir and trying to find a way to direct it in a postive way we decided to research training toilets. After looking at the store and settling on one we brought it home and our little adventure began…

Meet the mini-aqua flush 1000 (well actually the little one doesn’t flush just a pot)

So of we embarked to get him “familar” with the concept of sitting on the toilet. We by no means feel he is ready or are trying to get him ready for potty training.

But to our surprise he gave us a present…

Catching up on his MacLife columns

And this was it. After a little encouragement he decided to sit on the toilet before he got into his bath… and he pee’d, yup a good ole fasion whiz-in-bowl. It was a proud moment for us as we both looking into this little plastic pot and were so excited over an ounce or less of yellow liquid. But hey it’s a start.

In fact he likes the darn thing so much he finds it a great spot for casual reading. I suppose it fitting to call his toilet the “thinking chair” as we do the big one.
