Mad Dash

Every night before his tub, Ben sits on his potty and tries to put his pee in there. Until the last few weeks, his success has been inconsistent. The last few days, he seems to have really gotten the hang of it, though.

We were driving home tonight and we were talking through the evening agenda.
Ben: "Mommy - it's getting dark outside."
Me: "Yep - must be almost time for a tubby"
Ben: "I gotta pee!!!!!"
Mom: "Right now?"
Ben: "Yeah... right now!"

Thus began our first ever mad-dash from car to toilet, all while clutching the crotch.
And I'm happy to report that not only was he right, but he managed to hold it the five minutes it took to deliver him to the throne.

Next step: convincing him it doesn't have to be dark outside and he doesn't have to be buck naked to use the potty.
