Potty Training Day #2


A huge success for potty trainers every where!  Three accidents today and two of them were as he was running to the potty.  We had about 10 real successes even though getting there took a lot of M&Ms. he even woke up dry from his 2 hour nap!

Our first accident was no big surprise. D's never been one to go #2 without moving and shaking all over the house to things things going.  So he'd been pushing for a bit.  I left the room for all of 3 seconds and next thing I know, he's running to the potty screaming POOPY ON THE POTTY! Since today was naked day, he left a nice little trail behind him.  The clean-up resulted in a very violent reaction from me, but then again, so does every poopy diaper change these days (hence the potty training now).

Dillan in his big boy underwear!

The next two accidents ended up being a lot easier since he demanded to wear big boy underwear this afternoon.  Quick changes and clean ups.

Big lesson of the day - in order to keep him on the potty long enough to 'go' takes some imagination, especially after 5 or 6 hours of 30 minutes intervals.  Today we had lunch on the potty and ended up bringing in a breakfast tray to use as a track for trains and race cars.
