Potty Time



So, we decided to take the plunge and potty train Anderson last weekend. I know he's still pretty young, but he had gone on the toilet a bunch of times, and was starting to tell us when he was going. I felt like if we stopped taking him or didn't listen when he told us, that he would just stop telling us all together. Plus, I am thrilled with the idea of not having to buy diapers for 2 kids anymore.

Anyway, Tim took Friday off to help me because since I'm nursing, it's hard to catch him in time at the beginning. The first few days actually went really well. We went through about 5 pairs of undies the first morning. After that, he seemed to catch on pretty well. Tim was really close to him all weekend so we could take him if he started going. We had to go to our parent's houses on Sunday, so we gave him a little distance, and he did tell us at my mom's. He did have an accident at Tim's parent's right when we got there. He hasn't had any accidents in his bed (during naps or the night), and has been telling us. It happens when he is playing with other kids and gets distracted. Overall, it hasn't been too bad. Hopefully it will just continue to get better! He LOVES his Cars and Elmo big boy undies though!

You had a much better experience than we did!! Did you use that method I sent you?! It is so nice having them in undies!
