I guess I can now say I'm officially potty training Mikey. I am not going back... we can (scratch that) HE can do this! I am not using diapers anymore. That is if you don't count the pull-up he is getting at nap and to sleep in at night. When he woke up this morning ALL the diapers were gone. I had removed them all last night after I put him to sleep. Mikey so desperately wanted his diaper when he woke this morning. He looked in every single place a diaper has ever been in our home. I have to admit a part of me wanted to cave and give my little guy his diaper. He looked like he really needed it. Alas, I didn't and he (and I) survived. We had a two accidents this morning and then he got the hang of it. We are not leaving the house this weekend. It's crash course potty training. Each time he goes potty we all get potty treats (he loves this part best). Of course he cried when he wanted more and I told him that to get more he had use the potty. So, we went to the fridge and got out juice boxes (his favorite) so he could make more pee. This I think made it OK. That is my plan. Lots of yummy drinks, sweet chocolaty rewards, lots of praise from Mommy & Daddy and NO DIAPERS.
Wish us luck. :-)
Besides staying in for a few days is a great time to take some silly photos with Mommy.
Sunday morning update:
We had a great afternoon with no accidents. I put Mikey in his pull up to go to sleep and as we finished his bedtime prayer he asked me to use the potty. I said sure! We went to the bathroom and he sat on the potty. Just when I thought he had just pulled this stunt to get out of bed, he peed in the potty!!! Yeah! We went back to his room and I tucked him in. This morning he woke up with a dry pull up... and proceeded to pee in the potty. Mikey you rock and your Mommy is so proud of you! Mikey is doing great. Now, let's see if he poops today. ;-)
