Shane pooped in the potty!!!!

The sun was shining on the Johansen household today. After a long talk last night about the potty and how pullups really were still baby diapers and he wasn't really a big boy until he pooped on the potty, he seemed interested. Then he really wanted to wear his new new underwear, which are boxer briefs like daddy wears, but I said not until he pooped on the potty because mommy was not going to throw these away like I do the regular underwear - I refuse to rinse poop out of underwear, so it gets trashed. Anyway, we also talked about how his friend James was a big boy and only wearing underwear all the time, never pullups. So I told him to tell me when he woke up and needed to poop. Myann of course woke up early this morning with a cold, and I was dealing with the morning routine of puppies when I heard Shane yell out that he was ready to poop. He has never done this before, so I got quite excited. I got Myann in her high chair with milk and kenneled the puppies so I could focus on Shane. When I got to his room, the clean smell informed me that he hadn't pooped, normally going to Shane's room in the morning is like entering a dead zone where it certainly smells like something died. So I grabbed him and downstairs we went to the potty. Up on the potty he went and of course assuming it would be a while, I ran out to get him books and a drink. I didn't get halfway down the hall before I heard him yell out that he had done it. Honestly I didn't believe him, since he has said that before after a toot, but I looked, and he had. I think I screamed with joy. We were so excited that I left him sitting there to start making the phone calls. We called daddy, but he didn't answer, so then we called my mom. Shane told her and then quickly asked her to send his present, she had promised him a few days before that if he'd poop in the potty, she would mail him a special gift. Needless to say, Shane never forgets a promise of a gift, so he'll be watching the mail everyday now. We were both beaming. I could tell he was quite proud of himself, and I was thrilled. He must have telepathically read the blog from the day before and knew mommy really needed this. SO I will get pics up ASAP, not pics of the poop, I do have some sense of what is inappropriate, though you can't tell since I have written about poop for 2 days now. I will post pics of the proud boy. Let's pray this happens again tomorrow.  And the pics are Myann with her hair done by Tina, our babysitter.  Tina does Myann's hair way better than I do.  The crazy hair is Myann after her nap, I couldn't resist how crazy it looked.
