FFF: My Big Boy (and his underwear)

Behold the view that I'm seeing an awful lot of as of late: 

That's right folks, Enoch is using the bathroom like a big boy more and more now!  Yesterday I showed him what big boy underwear were, and I let him try some on, which he loved.  After parading them around the house for a few minutes, I explained that he would need to poopy in the bathroom again before he could wear the big boy underwear long term.  We also chatted a little about how babies wear diapers and big boys (like daddy, of course) wear underwear. 

Sure enough, a few hours later when I thought he was trying to poop in his diaper, I asked about going to the bathroom, and he agreed.  Let's just say it was a successful bathroom trip!!  He was so proud of pooping in the bathroom like a big boy, and after we had celebrated and flushed, he ran straight to the underwear drawer in his bedroom and picked out his first pair of underwear (red with helicopters).  

Of course, when we put them on we re-hashed the big boy/bathroom/underwear connections.  Throughout the day we took a few bathroom breaks, and it was actually rather painless.  Who knows what today will hold, but at least our first day of pursuing big boy underwear is in the books and was pretty fun and exciting.  :)


This is how Karis hangs out while we take bathroom breaks.  Now that she's sitting up, I feel like we are in a much easier season to be spending tons of time hanging out in the bathroom (and to be able to drop EVERYTHING and run to the bathroom quickly). 

 Isn't she cute sitting with her little teddy bear in the laundry basket?  

And of course, Karis wanted to give Enoch a congratulatory kiss after all the excitement of his first pair of big boy underwear...   ;)
