Potty Time!

Around his 2nd birthday, we purchased Baby Bear a "Cars" potty because they were on sale and we'd gotten rid of our previous potty chair that we used with both the big kids. I knew it'd be a while before we used it, but it never hurts to be prepared.
Baby Bear has thought it looked interesting, but was never ever interested in even sitting on it. Then, the other day he was complaining about having to go poop. I asked (as I always do), "Do you want to go sit on the potty?" expecting to get the typical response, "NO!" (picture it with a stubborn stance turning his back to me and crossing his arms over his chest).
But, this time, he actually said, "Yes."
After having to take a second to make sure I heard that correctly, I quickly walked him into our bathroom and removed his pants and diaper. BB seemed to be a bit surprised by this as well and wasn't sure he still wanted to try the potty. I sat on the stool next to his potty and talked to him for a while. After a bit, he sat on his potty. Let's just say a while later (about thirty minutes) and several stories, songs, and lots of praise, we had success! Baby Bear went poop on the potty!
Now, don't get your hopes up...I sure didn't. He's sat on the potty a couple more times since then, but not with lots of excitement. I know this doesn't mean we'll start saving on diapers and I'm not in a big hurry to deal with accidents in the middle of stores every day. So, we'll just mark this up to a really great first experience with the potty and we'll see where it takes us.
