the joy of flushing

Jonathan likes talking about the toilet a lot. He has his own seat that fits on top of the real seat and for the past few weeks has been requesting to sit on it before his bath. Tonight, for the first time, he actually peed in the pot!! I think even he was surprised.

I cheered him on and, when he was done, helped him wipe and let him flush it down. Then, as a congratulations, I told him he could have a piece of candy. He raced into the kitchen after me, eagerly took the candy, ran straight back to the bathroom, and threw it in the toilet. He laughed hysterically as he flushed it down and then, perfectly content, got into the bath.
