Potty "training"

Well,  6 days after his 2nd birthday, Phoenix decided he is going to potty train.... Himself. We haven't potty trained per se, we have mostly just talked about the potty for many months now. We tell him what it is, how we use it,  and would sit him on it just to get use to the feel of it at random intervals. He used the potty once, at 15 months, when we first bought the potty but assumed this was just a fluke or perhaps he was excited but the novelty of the item. He pooped in the potty a few months later which totally shocked us as well. But that was about as far as it went for potty training. We were actually gearing up for PT in the next few weeks but then low and behold, this sudden diaper hating baby, came to me and said "mommy I need to pee pee". He'd been diaper less under his Jammie's for 3 hours. I ran to the bathroom and sat him down and voila! We had pee pee! Yesterday marked day 2 of full potty use, mo diapers at all! We are so proud of this boy but also amazed that he required no "training". Momma said I potty trained the same way, though. I have a theory that babies know how to wean themselves off just about everything: nursing/ bottles, diapers, nighttime waking, naps, etc. they are pretty aware of their own needs if truth be told :) for this reason, I'm so glad I haven't exhausted myself forcing any of these acts upon him. Most transitions for us have been smooth by just simply following his cues. As mommas advice went: " read your baby, not baby books".

New realization that he can actually pick up and "snuggle" bebe ( i dont think bebe enjoyed it though)

We also visited mammy this week and she even made us a delicious lunch!
