Benjamin's Big Moment

Yesterday Benjamin was all excited to call Daddy, Mamacita, and Mima to tell them the "big news": he used the potty for the first time!

I've been ready to start potty training for a week or two now, but due to a million things I'm sure you don't really care about, it hasn't happened. Yesterday as I was changing his diaper Benjamin announced, "I want to sit on the potty!" Although this doesn't happen often, it was not completely unheard of and so I didn't think anything about it. I followed him into the bathroom and helped him get up on his Elmo seat where he promptly...went! I think he thought I was crazy as I clapped and cheered and told him how proud I was. He just sat there looking at me nonchalantly, as though he uses the potty everyday. But don't let him fool you, he was grinning from ear to ear as he announced to Daddy on the phone, "Daddy, I go pee pee in da potty!"

Well...onward!
