Potty Training

On Monday during breakfast potty training was brought up. Jonathan said, let's do it! I was a little surprised by his enthusiasm. I was also still debating in my mind whether or not we should since we were having the baby in a month. However, considering Jonathan would be home all week we decided to go for it! Well, the first two days seemed like there was accident after accident. That he didn't get it at all. However, we were consistent. I would still put him on the toilet every 15 minutes. Well, then the accidents were less frequent and the past two days he has stayed dry. I have started to notice a pattern of when he goes. I also noticed that he will go on the potty! Like he saves it or something to go in the potty. I am sure the treats help, but I think he is getting it. I am so proud of him. Today we went to an activity at church. I set the 'motorcycle timer' and he went to the potty in the restroom. I brought his toilet seat cover for the toilet so it wasn't unfamiliar for him. Then we went to the store, came home and he went again. So far so good. It is nice not to have to be so on top of him...but I am still waiting for him to say, "I need to go potty!!" I am sure he will eventually as he gets better and starts to realize it. He is still in diapers at night. He also wears a pull-up for naps. I might change that, but for now it is okay with me. He doesn't think he is wearing diapers at least.

This has been the scariest part of parenting so far. I am so glad we didn't put it off and that he was ready for it!!

Way to go Isaac.
