Potty or Potty!

I have recently started potty training with cheeky. My approach is just to relax and enjoy the process, whether it takes a month or a year that is just fine. I have a tendency to get stressed about things, sleeping, weaning, cot to a bed, all of the transitions with cheeky have worried me and stressed me out so much, i am just always so desperate to get it right. Anyway we bought a little blue potty with a boat on it just before Christmas and i have kept it out in the living room ever since. Cheeky quite enjoyed putting it on his head or putting his little figures inside it..... until very recently when i started removing his nappy for half an hour or so when we were in the house. Obviously we have had so many Miss hap's, the mop has been very well used. Each time he had a wee wee on the floor i said ooh quick sit on the potty (like a bit of a game) initially he didn't do anything on it he just used to sit there. Until about two weeks ago when he did his first wee wee on the potty, i was actually crying i was so proud of him, we did a little dance called the 'good job dance' ( if anybody could have seen us they may have thought we were potty lol) and said lots and lots of wows! From then on thats how it went, we still had lots of weeing on the floor but each time he used the potty we danced and sang etc. Today we stayed at home for the whole day, just the two of us, perfect quality time :) and i kept his nappy off, just to see what happened...... and wow i am just amazed and so so pleased we haven't had a single accident all day, the potty has been used, we have danced the good job dance endlessly and there has been lots of hand washing, smiling cuddling, goodness i am so so so proud of him. Still a long way off him losing the nappy completely but that is fine, i am calm about the process and we are both enjoying it so much.
