Otto Starts Toilet Learning; The Crowd [me] Goes Wild!

A few days ago Otto stood up during his bath and gave me a funny little look. He was standing in a funny little way and I just knew what was going down: he had to go potty. So I said, "do you want to sit on the toilet and go pee?" and he said, "da" (which means yes, though lately he's more likely to say "yeeeeyahhh" like he's from Chicago, which is freaking cute). Anyways, so I picked him up, plopped him on the toilet, held him there, and he peed! I can't even put into words how excited I was about this giant leap for Muth-kind!

That was a few days ago and I'm still riding the wave of potty excitement I felt during the bath incident! So far, though, the Bjorn potty has gone un-christened. We aren't pressuring Otto to use the potty at all. But it sits proudly in our bathroom, and Otto loves to just sit on it and play.
