Potty Training!!

Day 1:
Our big day came yesterday, Day 1 , of our 3 day potty training method. We started about 8:00 in the morning with throwing away all the diapers and putting on big boy pants. Tyler helped with this, but didn't seem all that interested. Then we went in to check out his new potty and he did have his doggy sit on the potty a few times. The main focus of this method is to teach the child to let you know when they have to potty and not just to sit them there every 15 min. So, I let him play and watch a little TV (sitting right by his side of course) and after an hour of nothing, I finally had him go in and sit on the potty and he peep immediately!! We celebrated and got stickers and even called Daddy to tell him. Don't worry though, the rest of the day was not so easy. He did resist sitting on the potty quit a bit during the day and we had our fair share of accidents and oops, but we did have some minor successes for Day 1. All in all, I think we had a successful day. He even ran into the bathroom saying "potty, potty" right after his bath and sat down (although most of it ended up in his big boy pants). It was a long, exhausting day for mom (and there are still 2 more to go), but definitely worth it and worth all the effort. I'll keep you posted on the following days.
