Yesterday, Gabe did something brand new as far as using the potty goes. He has been potty trained since about July, and he has really mastered going alone (getting on his stool, sitting or standing, flushing, wiping, etc)in the last month or so. Anyway, last night he went to use the potty, and I followed behind to see how he was doing. He was standing right up to the toilet without using his stool! It looked hilarious-this little boy standing in front of that big toilet. But amazingly, he is the perfect height, and there were no major messes to clean up. So now he really is a big boy, and he told me he no longer needs his "baby" stool.
On a side note, this only further confirms the fact that he has had a major growth spurt recently. Between his pants not fitting in length anymore and this new way of peeing in the toilet, I would say he has probably grown another inch or so.
