Potty Time

So the day came where we didn't have anything planned for 3 straight days and started the potty training weekend for William! It started the day after Halloween. The first two days William got to pretend he lived in a nudist colony. We put his Thomas the Train potty smack in the middle of downstairs and reminded him constantly to try #1 and #2. William had just one accident on Saturday (after insisting on wearing underwear, which I think he thought substituted diapers) and same scenario on Sunday - 1 accident when he insisted on underwear. The first day he went 2 (which I've heard can very daunting) all by himself and told me after the fact! So funny! He did the same thing on Sunday with Matt. Good job!

On Monday I gave him more free reign. He got to wear underwear and I wasn't reminding him. But we had a couple accidents. So back to the nudist colony.

The next day was a school day. I was thinking about keeping him home, but figured - eh, let's just deal with it. And lo and behold, no accidents! So proud and we went to the toy store right after to pick out a new toy.

The week has gone by and he did amazing. We went out and about all week long without any accidents. He went to school on Friday and did have an accident, which I was fully expecting because I signed him up for "Lunch Bunch" that day, which means he stays until 2 p.m. They were painting Christmas ornaments that day and I had signed him up before I knew we'd be potty training. William loves art and I didn't want to hold back the little artist. So yes, a new pair of pants were on him and I suspect it happened at lunch bunch when he probably wasn't sure who to be asking to use the potty. No big deal.

To sum it all up - it was pretty easy. He's got it and I'm sure now and then there will be accidents, but it's been quite stress free.

Great job William!!
