Bad blogger

Since I am getting nasty-grams from my family for not blogging enough... this is for them. Don't get used to it though, I don't usually bow down to threats that easily! You just happened to catch me at a good time. Craig and Owen went to Target so I have about a half hour to blog just for you, Patrick : )

Owen continues to do just great. We're about 3.5 weeks out of surgery now and at this point there isn't a thing we do differently with post surgery Owen. He climbs, wrestles, jumps and everything else he wants to do without anything bothering him. Oh, and did I mention potty training?

So, about a week or so ago we bought Owen his first potty chair. He's seemed interested in letting us know when he poops or pees at times so we thought we'd slowly introduce the chair and see what happens. We took it out of the box today and Owen was fascinated with it. I told him it was his very own potty and he constantly pointed at it and said "potty... pees" or "poop".  He sat on it a lot with his pants on which is fine. I expect this to happen very slowly and I don't want to pressure him at all. Towards the end of the day I asked him if he wanted to use the potty again. "YEAH!!" was his reply. I thought that was pretty cool so we went inside and I asked him if he wanted to take off his pants and diaper so he could put some pee in the potty. "YEAH!!" was his reply again so off they came. Well, he never peed but he sat on it a lot. Lifted up the lid, closed the lid, would sit on it again. Kept pointing to the inside and would say "pee".  And so it begins.
