Potty Training....

This has been quite an eventful weekend! We've done some cleaning, some building, some cooking, lots of laundry, and kicked off potty training with Tyler. We've been putting him on the potty occasionally in the morning and before his bath, sometimes he'd go and sometimes he wouldn't. This weekend we got a small potty, stickers, candy, a potty book, and some big boy underwear and gave it a shot. The plan was to put in him underwear and if we noticed him doing the "dance" or if he went a little we'd rush him to the potty. We discovered that Tyler would not go to the bathroom if he was wearing boxers... he held it for 3 hours!! We were putting him on the potty to try every 30 minutes or so, but he wasn't cooperating. He'd start to go, realize he was going and stop... we'd put him on the potty and nothing! Finally after the three hour span, he went! We cheered and tried to build it up... but Tyler asked for a diaper. We put his big boy undies back on and kept up with it most of the day. We did put a pull up on him when Josh's family came over because he was too busy playing with his cousin to keep up with whether or not he was needing to go or not. After they left, we went back to regular underwear and he went on his own TWICE without us asking or saying anything!! Unfortunately there is no way we could keep this up during the week, but I'll let his teachers know to try him on the potty regularly and see what happens. Think we'll keep up the regular undies at home and see how it goes. Wish us luck!!
