Ambitious parents and one proud boy!

Teag is 17.5 months old.  Old enough to be potty trained, right?  Well, probably not but we decided to at least introduce the idea to him yesterday.  He didn't exactly welcome the idea with open arms but he entertained us to say the least.  

Teagan sat on the little toilet as if he were sitting on a piping hot throne.  He grimaced with a look of fear until he finally relaxed enough to make it happen.  Suddenly, we heard a soft trickle and began rejoicing for positive reinforcement.  I never thought I'd be so happy to see a pee-filled bowl, but he did it!  His reward?  Pride and a blue bath tub!  

Tonight was round 2 of this venture and it proved to be much less stressful for Teag.  He quickly, and happily, sat on the toilet.  He did give a little cry as if he weren't sure what was happening, but his mood quickly turned to a happy giggle as he peed in the toilet again!  He looked down at the deed and clapped with happiness.  Perhaps 17.5 months isn't too early to begin this life lesson?
