Meet the "Potty" King

Is it really possible to be getting out of diapers soon? This is a really exciting concept, but it also a scary one, because that means our little Preston is growing up! Tonight I had him wear his dinosaur, aka ROAR, under-roos all night. I thought the idea of feeling wet might help the potty training process. Preston did AWESOME. He would leak a little and that bothered him so he took off running to the potty. We began a ritual where he tells his wee wee to pee pee and then when the songs and dances are all done he dumps it into the big potty where we say bye bye pee pee a thousand times. All through dinner Preston waved towards the bathroom and yelled bye pee pee. Doesn't that just make you smile!So he looks like he is wearing Grandpa underwear, but we'll work on getting him cuter ones! For now the Roars are a big hit! Preston got a penny after using the potty on his own and is saving it in his piggy bank.

Preston is not impressed with me taking pictures of him. He only sat long enough to get that penny in the bank and then he was off! Can't you just hear Preston saying, "Mommy NO," and pushing the camera away. I think he is embarrassed that I was taking pictures in his underwear. What a modest little boy. By the way Preston is now calling me Mama. This just warms my heart, but now I can't say that he is always asking for Dada to help him (just kidding). I think I woke up around midnight the other night to tell Matt that he is calling me Mama and Mommy after all this time. It just brought tears to my eyes. I never thought I would hear him call me anything but DADA. Although he was being a little stinker because he would laugh when he called me DADA. What a poop! (By the way he is at my feet playing with Rescue Heroes, does anyone see I am excited!)

So once again I have a hundred pictures of Preston running at the camera or away from the camera. Thought he was kind of cute running around in his underwear. This is not a typical thing we allow in the house, but it is helpful with the potty training process!

I asked Preston if I could see the back of his underwear and this was the pose I got! For those of you who saw the family DVD last year, this reminded me of the finger painting picture where Preston peeked between his legs. I guess this is the "Preston Pose!" Don't you just want to pinch that little bottom.
