Not Just Listening

Today Milton past a milestone. He really surprised me in a really positive way. I sat on the WC and I saw our little sunshine come crawling. That's nothing new but this time he said "tissa" when he crawled over the threshold. "Tissa" is babylanguage for "kissa" which is "pee" in english. I smiled and thought he said it because he was in the bathroom or because I was on the WC but he crawled past me to his potty touched it and said "tissa" again. Of course I took off his pants and diaper and sat him down on the potty. He pooped and peed almost right away. I thought that was AWESOME :) He has been going on the potty for about 10 days now, a few days before he turned 1, but never told us when he wanted. We've just put him there after his meals. This was the first time he acctually told us he wanted to go. Later mom said he did the same thing when I was away but that time he looked at Elina and pointed at the potty. Later this evening, still the same day, after I came home with godfather after playing with our radiocontrolled cars, we sat in the sofa and had a beer. Milton crawled to the door opening to our livingroom and pointed at the bathroom and said "tissa". Then he crawled to his potty and Elina took off his diaper just in case he wants to go again... and he did. He did number 1 almost right away.

At the same day he learned to tell us he wanted to go potty, he did it three times!!.. it's awesome and I am so proud. This is the first time I feel he is acctually communicating what he wants and we understand what he means and he knows what he's "saying". To me this day is a milestone in Miltons development. He's a little "talking" person :)
