I may be the first man in the history of the internet to put up a post like this, but.....
Little Sam just pooped in the toilet for the first time. For those who don't know, Sam has high-functioning autism. For a 21/2-year-old with Autism, this is a major, major deal.
Little fella looked me straight in the eye and said "need poo poo." I took him in the bathroom, put his little potty seat on and he did his bidness.
To quote George Costanza, I busting, Jerry, busting.
Unusual that he pooped in the potty before he peed in it (he actually peed all over me in the process). I guesss we'll take what we can get.
Carry on.

Kudos! I know when you're a parent it's all about the small victories and potty training can be a horror!

Congrats, when my neice was going thru potty training it was hell. The funny thing is that you'll look back on this and laugh.

Gratzi. What's unusual is, most little boys pee in the toilet before they poop. I have no idea how to accomplish that. At this point, we'll take the small victories and go from there.

for ANY 2 1/2 yr old, it's a BIG deal.
Go Sam!! We are hoping to potty train #2 earlier than we achieved it with #1 -- simply because the end of diapers is in sight!hmmmm......can't remember

Interesting that you call your children "#2" and "#1", given the topic of this thread!

Most excellente! My nephew, who is a high functioning autistic, poopied in the potty for me once at around 3. I was on the phone with a client and he came running in my office with his pants wrapped around his ankles yelling, "Auntie Mango, I poopied in the potty!!! I poopied in the potty!!! with a big a$$ grin on his face. Needless to say, my client heard everything and laughed. Even funnier was the small bit that didn't make it in the potty, but on the floor of my office. 
So congrats! These are moments to remember.

Better than sponge and rubber, which is what my girlfriend affectionately calls her kids.

Big high five for Sam. I'm trying to teach my 2 year old also. One day I think she's got it....the next day we start all over. We spend a lot of time in the bathroom these days.

Make it funn, throw a few Cheerios in there and make it target practice for him. You might want to make it clear it's for potty time only. Hopefully it won't carry over to the breakfast table. :shock:
