Yesterday was the first time in a long time that Harrison wanted to sit on his potty chair. I ask him a lot, but everytime he answers with a definite “nope”. So I was excited yesterday when he sat on it. He didn’t do anything, but I kept telling him he was doing a good job by sitting on it.
So imagine my surprise last night after church when I picked him up from his room and the lady working said, “He told me he needed to go potty, so I took him in and he tinkled in the toilet.” I was totally shocked, but excited! When he saw me he says “PAH-DY!” He was really excited. It was cute. She told me that there were a bunch of other kids waiting in line to go at the time, so we think maybe he wanted to join in and go, too.
He’s gone twice in the toilet today, and I’m using some pull-up pants for the first time. We’ll see what happens! It’s been kind of funny, though- every time he goes he HAS to wipe his bottom, even though he’s only gone pee.
He’s had a really bad cough the last two days or so, which is from his throat condition (he has some extra tissue in his throat that he hasn’t “grown into” yet). He gets to coughing so bad he chokes- he’s thrown up twice this morning from coughing so hard. It makes his colds worse and makes it sound like he constantly has croup…which he doesn’t. I got the ok from the dr. to give him some steroids that I have from a previous episode, which reduces the inflammation in his throat and helps him to not have coughing spells. Hoping it works fast- usually he’s better within 24 hours or so.
That’s all the excitement going on in the Gubser household this weekend.
