So starting yesterday I began this great 3 day potty training system. You start out by having them throw out all the diapers, put on the big boy pants (none of the sissy pull ups or training pants) and go for it.... I won't bore with details on exactly the method... if you want to know, buy the book right? Anyway, so yesterday I stayed positive and encouraging the whole time, all the while thinking that the 20+ pairs of big boy underwear I bought were not going to last me through the day.
Lets just say that there were a lot of accidents... But... at 6 I woke him up, he had wet the bed once... we changed him, got him to try to go potty, then put him back in bed. When he woke up, totally dry... Not one accident until after 6 tonight, and it was because I tried to make him go on a regular toilet... which scares him still... He kept the one pair of underwear dry the entire day! He would look at me and say, "Mommy, Potty!" then we would go in and he would do his thing.... I am so proud of him! We had an issue with no #2's... until he got in the bath, then a screaming fit when I tried to get him to do that on his potty... but all in all, i am so proud of my little guy!
I worry that tomorrow it will all feel like a wonderful dream and we will be back having accidents... but i have faith that we won't! Now if I can just get him to Poop, then get him to go on a regular toilet so I can leave the house! (any suggestions on this would be great...)
Adventures in potty training! WOW!!! Its all about taking the time and having the attitude... and some kids will take longer, but keep with it! It will happen!
