Hooray! Hooray! Potty time is fun

Tommy showed readiness for Toilet Learning at the same age of a typical child, so we were very proud of him and began to help him to accomplish this big milestone on October 2010. From October 2010 to January 2011, he was doing great and began to let us know when he wanted to go potty. But He got seriously ill with a repiratory infection and he completely regressed. So I got so overwhelmed with everything that was going on after the hospitalization that I completely stopped working on potty Learning. I began to avoid it even when Tommy was occasionally signing "potty."

My mom came to visit for three months, and then, she began to help him to regain his potty skills. She doesn't have a lot of time working on potty learning and Tommy has began to verbalize when he wants to go "pooh" in the last couple of days and I could capture it today. So we are very excited he is regaining this skill. Tommy is an amazing child because going "pooh" always has been easier for him. So we will be focussing in going "peeh" in the coming days.

We gave him a "galletita" (cookie) as a reward. He was so proud of him and he began to say very loudly "I DID IT." Definitely, he doesn't know about limits and he is conscious when he is successful on everything he makes the decision to accomplish. By the way, Tommy's properly verbalized the words "galletita" and cookies. He also answers "galletita" when we has made the question in English or vice-versa. He is definitely simultaneously bilingual. What proud we are of him.

The picture shows how proud he was of himself

Here are the links when we started potty learning with Tommy back on October 2010. It has great info about this matter.
