Peeing in the Toilet!

Lately, before Dax gets in the bathtub, he's been asking to sit on the toilet. So, we put him on it and he sits there for a minute and smiles. Then he asks to get down and we put him in the bathwater, where he proceeds to, about half the time, pee. Nice.

Well, yesterday, when he sat on the toilet, he actually peed! In the toilet! Well, "sort of" in the toilet...he actually shot between the seat and the bowl and peed on the floor and my shoe, but that's just a technicality. He was so proud of himself!

Tonight, we went through the routine as usual, and he did the "pee in the tub" bit. But, he asked to get out of the tub and to sit on the toilet again. He made a straining face, like he was really *trying* to pee in the toilet. Nothing happened, but I appreciated the effort.

I'm really surprised by his interest in the toilet. I know yesterday was a fluke, so we're not going to start pushing potty training on a kid who isn't even 2 yet. But, he enjoys doing what we do, so we'll make a game of it, and keep it in our routine. Maybe I won't have to change the tub water so often. :)
