Potty Boy

So, we got motivated around here this week. A bit motivated anyway. My friend was talking about now that she's off for the summer, she's going to get serious about potty training, so that it's done by the time school starts up again. She was going to start this week, she called it Potty Training Boot Camp.
I felt it may be time to do something similar.

So, Monday we broke out the underwear. There were three pee-pee accidents, but I think that he'd stop peeing as soon as he started, one was floor worthy, the other two prompted him to tell me Poo Poo's coming, and ask to go potty. Our 3 pairs lasted only an hour and a half. I wished we had more underwear, unfortunately, it's hard to find it small enough to fit 24 month bottoms. He only has the 3 Bob the Builder pairs, which he loved, and you could tell he felt very bad when Bob got dirty. Now he's got to wait for that load of laundry to try again, until then he wears pull ups. Pink pull ups actually. During my non-shopping pregnancy Daddy bought a bag of pull ups, and didn't notice the red package had Dora on it, until I opened it up. Then he found the Diego pullups, so the Dora ones are used exclusively at home.

I was pretty proud that in that span of 1 1/2 hours, he pooped on the potty 4 times, then again after he was wearing a pull up in the evening for a total of 5 times in 1 day. Not too shabby!

What a big boy! Both my girls were different. All I had to do with Alexis was give her a look and she pretty much trained herself. She was trained in about 2 weeks (plus 7 years for night time...so glad I can finally say we are diaper/pull-up free at our house!). With Kaylee I had to set a timer for 20 minutes (or maybe it was 30) but I'd make her sit on the pot for 3 or so minutes and then she could get up. Even if we went out the timer was still going...It was not too much fun, but she was trained in a week, even at night.

It must really be potty training season around here! Good for Chris! Michael went through 8 pairs of underwear on Monday, but has only had one little accident since then. Our big boys are going to have to get together soon!
