Kaleb is still doing well with peeing in the potty! He LOVES it! Every time I take him in there he goes. The only drawback is that now he wants to flush it incessantly. And throw things in, whatever's handy..... a toy, a washcloth, etc. So we're keeping the bathroom door closed, but his potty chair is now in the living room.
He's off to a great start! Maybe today I'll try the toilet targets. That should REALLY get him excited! HEHEHE

Last night I let Kaleb run around commando for a while, partly cause his bum was a little red and partly so I could try to get him to sit on his potty chair. Well, it was almost time to get his diaper and pajamas on when I went in to take care of some business myself. Kaleb was running in and out of the bathroom while I was on the pot. He actually flushed the toilet for me several times while I was still on it. Then all at once he stopped, and started peeing on the floor. So I got up quick, grabbed him, and pointed him at the toilet. I got him to put his feet on the toilet seat and stand. He thought it was really cool to pee in the water. When he stopped peeing he said, "Go again". So he did, a little more. When he was done, I let him flush it again. I gave him a big hug and praised him, and gave him a sticker, which he put on his car. Then we washed our hands and I got him ready for and into bed.
Then this morning we got up, I changed his diaper, we had breakfast, we did some dishes together. I knew he had pooped while we were washing dishes, so when we were done I asked him if he wanted to go potty. He said "OKAY!" So I took his diaper off and wiped him clean, and he ran straight for the bathroom and asked me to open the door. (we've had to keep it closed the last couple days because he's discovered that he can throw things in and flush). ANYWAY, so we went into the bathroom, and I stood him up on the toilet seat like I had last night. I really didn't think anything was going to happen, but was letting him try. After 15 seconds or so, HE WENT! I was SO EXCITED! And Kaleb thought it was pretty cool too. He REALLY likes peeing in the big potty.
I let him run around commando again, cause I know if he has a diaper on, he'll just go in that. If I leave the diaper off, he doesn't go. About half an hour later, I took him in again. But nothing happened this time. So I let him go and I got ready for work. I figured I'd try again about the time we would have to wake Daddy up. So I went and woke Karl up, and while he was getting up out of bed I went and got Kaleb and had him say, "Daddy, come see" So we all went into the bathroom, and I stood him up again. We were standing there waiting and Karl said "He's not gonna do it" I told Karl "Just give him a minute, he's working on it." And then he went! Daddy was so proud!
Unfortunately, I had to go to work after that. But Karl called me about an hour after I got to work to tell me Kaleb had peed in the potty two more times! By the time I got home tonight, he had gone AGAIN. And I got him to go AGAIN before I put him to bed!
Hopefully things will go just as well tomorrow, but we have social group in the morning, so we won't have much time before I have to go to work. But we'll try.................
