Every. Single. Milestone.

It has been said that as a parent of a special needs child, we learn to celebrate even the smallest of milestones.

So today I am rejoicing that he actually decided to use the potty (a hit-or-miss endeavor even after 1 year of trying) and wipe himself (a first).

And I am choosing to ignore the fact that he left a trail of paper from bathroom to dining room and that he seemingly prefers to wipe in public.

And it is possible, as my brother has suggested, that he was just leaving a trail so that he can find his way back to the bathroom and the rest of his clothes.
