Adventures in Potty Training


It's been so long since I last posted, that I don't even know where to begin! We've been a busy bunch! Chronologically, the first up after Father's Day was potty training Danny and, per usual, he has amazed me! I bought a potty from Amazon on a Wednesday and he was fully trained by the end of the weekend. We swapped diapers for Mickey and Thomas the Train undies cold turkey, bribed with jelly beans the first couple days and insisted he try to go every 20-30 mins. He had a couple accidents the first two days, and a couple random ones since then, but otherwise he's all in.

Reading material. Check.
Matchbox cars. Check.
He likes to describe the size of his "jobs", i.e. little pee or big poop. Cute? Gross? You decide. And mid session likes to review his progress and provide his own words of encouragement - "good job" and "I so proud of you". Going while out in public is the only challenging part, as he's sometimes too distracted or excited to want to go, but once he agrees to sit on the big boy pot, we're good to go. Oh and my feet were firehosed when we pushed him a little too long one time. Good times!
