Adventures in Bennionland

It appears we have begun to turn the corner on the quest for potty training. William asked Shell if he could sit on the potty. So she took him in there let him sit down and sure enough he went pee pee.

It is funny I have seen many milestones for people in my life and it is funny how proud it makes me to see my son do something as simple as ask to go pee pee. I guess that is what being a parent is all about.

Ten years from now I will most likely look back and have many of these proud moments to look back on. I can’t imagine I will recreate this feeling, but I am excited for the memories. It must be the Historian in me.

Well here it is one of the proudest moments in any parent’s life. The first time your child successfully uses the potty. Every time I have bathed Will or taken him in the shower with me I have set him on his potty seat to let him get used to it. Yesterday was the first time I did it that he didn’t cry over the experience. So of course I ran right out and got the camera, because every good parent needs to have a picture of their kid on the potty, and as you can see above I now possess one of Will. The neat thing, if you can call it that, is that as I was taking this picture he actually did his first pee pee on a potty so not only did I get the picture but I actually took a picture of him doing the pee pee. Of course you need me to tell you, because there is no way to tell that from the picture.

yay for daddyhood.
