The Bat

Great first half of the day. Declan and I headed out to meet up with Gramma and Poppa for a breakfast date. We are at the stage now where he will tell me when he needs to pee. We jumped up from the table mid-meal for a successful bathroom break. I can't believe only two weeks ago  I wasn't sure he'd ever use the toilet.

After breakfast we were back at Gramma and Poppa's for a visit. A game of catch with Gramma had Declan in giggles and all sweaty from playing hard.

After some lunch at home Declan went down for his nap. About 30 minutes in (and having been awake the entire time) Declan yelled to me that he want to poop on the toilet. This was all on his terms. Of course this is how this all went down.  About 10 minutes of waiting paid off and Declan got his first successful on the toilet poop!!! He was pretty pleased with himself and he so very quickly grabbed the last toy that's been waiting in the bathroom, the poop reward. Declan now has "The Bat" matchbox toy plane. My smart, stubbourn child decided on his terms when it was time. Thankfully the time is now!
