Potty potty potty!

Over the weekend, we splurged and got Troy a potty seat.  It was on sale, $3 off, and it was Elmo!  Last night, Troy told us that he had to "pee", grabbed his potty seat and a hold of his boy parts, and we ran to the bathroom.  Sure enough, he tinkled and tinkled on the potty.  We made a huge deal of it.  We clapped and cheered.  We waved bye bye to it as it went down.  He was very excited and proud of himself.  This morning he got up and said "pee" and ran to the bathroom.  But he couldn't quite hold it.  This afternoon, he thought he had to go again but his diaper was wet.  He did sit on the potty seat and tried to potty, but just couldn't.  It seems that he tells us he has to potty as he is going.  We also have to dance to the Potty Dance song when it comes on the TV and have downloaded it for our own use.  Long ago, Kris and I decided that in no way shape or form would we push Troy and Rylee to potty train, we would let them let us know when they were ready.  Don't get me wrong, we encourage the potty at times, but don't push the idea.  Both kids don't like to be wet or dirty so maybe we'll get lucky there.  This may just be a phase that Troy is going through but we're going to take advantage of it.
