Breakthrough

Today Craig and Isaac did what they always do on the day that I work -- they went to Whole Foods. They have a nice routine together. Before they begin to shop, they start out at the cafe. They each select a pastry, and Craig gets a cup of tea while Isaac gets a cup of milk, and they sit at a little table and eat together.

Then they proceed to do the week's grocery shopping. But today while they were were in the produce section, something different happened. Isaac turned to Craig and said, "I need to poop."

So they went to the bathroom, and Isaac peed in the toilet.

Yes, Isaac was once again wearing his new underpants. I mentioned about a week ago that he had worn underpants to the park with me, and that he had successfully used the toilet there. (In fact, he used the toilet there two times.) That was his first time using a public toilet, although it was on my suggestion, made over his protests that he didn't need to pee.

Nor was today was not the first time he has successfully noticed that he needed to pee. Over the past week, sometimes while he's at home he will announce that he needs to poop (although he just needs to pee, so I guess he mixes up those signals). But it doesn't happen that often yet, and it seldom happens in the middle of a lot of activity, so I still think today's announcement was a breakthrough.

Although he did pee a little in his underpants later on, once they had gotten back home.
