Fooled by a 3 year old

It has been a month since we first met Jonathan. Each time he has had to go potty since we met him we have helped him pull down his pants, get on the toilet and off, and then pull up his pants. Going potty is a social affair for him, it is time that he has either Jeremy or myself to himself.

Earlier this week, I was apparently moving too slow for Jonathan and next thing I know he is sitting on the toilet. Today I again didn't move fast enough and next thing I know he hops off the toilet balances himself against the sink or toilet and pulls up his underwear and pants! It was quite interesting to watch how he balanced on his one leg and used his hand to pull everything up without falling over. He did fall once, but stood back up and kept going. So now we know he doesn't need help in the bathroom (except maybe for wiping after #2 :) Because of hygiene issues he will still need help in public bathrooms, but at home he is self sufficient!

Learning something new about our boy everyday...
