June 14th 2013 will be a day my family will long remember.  I successfully used the potty to have a BM.... two times!  You can stop reading now if you are not interested in this story:

At 11:34am GGF was still eating Honey Walnut Shrimp for lunch.  PaPa was putting up a new light fixture in the half bath.  GGM, Barbara, and I had just finished eating lunch and Barbara was talking to Grandma on the phone.  I went upstairs with GGM.  I told her I needed to poop.  I asked if she would put a diaper on me and not tell Barbara.  She said well go sit on the potty while she looked to see if she could even find a diaper.  (I suspect she was not going to find one.)  She thinks I relaxed because I thought a diaper was headed my way and I was able to "let go."  It just happened that fast.  Grandma shouted out to Barbara saying I wanted to show her something, who told Grandma she had to go upstairs to see something important.  She came up and lo and behold! ... an almost miracle!

I was sitting there holding a Popsicle with a big grin on my face.   

At 11:38 after I was dressed, I phoned Mommy.  She was at lunch so we left a message for her to call me.  Then we went downstairs to get the promised five pieces of Proud Candy (Skittles).   GGF and PaPa were both very proud of me. 

At 11:42 I called Mimz and told her the news.  She was tickled pink and said now she would get me the promised bike.  Out of the blue I also asked her for a robot.   I asked if I could call Daddy's work.  Mimz told Barbara to text my dad asking him to call me to hear some news.  At 11:48 Grandma, got the news but she already suspected since she was on the phone with Barbara when this all started. 

At 12:18 Mommy returned my call and I told her.  She wished she could be here to give me a kiss and great big hug.  Daddy returned my call at 12:25pm, he was so very proud me.  This story is not over yet...

At 1:01pm, Barbara heard me calling her, saying I needed her help.  She found me grinning and sitting on the potty, saying I did it again!  And it was true!  I called Mommy before I even got off the potty.   I think I have the hang of this.  I was all smiles all afternoon.  Everyone told me it would be easy and they were right.  GGM told Barbara to put a piece of toilet paper in my potty before I sit down and that will help with the clean up.  Ah, what a exciting day.  I napped from 2 to 5.

 
When Mommy got here we drove up to the lake to swim and spend the night.  We worked on a special project for Father's Day also.
