Potty Training Update!

I am in shock!

Day 1 was as expected. We had a few accidents. We had a few successful trips to the potty chair but all in all it was looking like this might be a long process.

And then yesterday, a few more successful trips in the morning and then the fight at nap time. I wanted to just put a pull up on him for nap.Dart was having nothing to do with that. He wanted to say in his superman underwear. So, with a sigh and the thought that I would surely be changing his sheets before bed I laid him down for his nap.

Fast forward 2 hours. Nap time is over and here comes a sleepy eyed little boy down the stairs. I go to check to see how wet he was....and....NOTHING. Dry as could be. I was so proud. We had an accident or two in the afternoon but that was mostly my fault because I didn't get him to the bathroom fast enough since I was getting ready to go to class.

And here we are today. This morning while I was getting his coloring pages ready to go we had an accident. One that I wasn't looking forward to cleaning up, if you catch my drift. And then when we were done with our school lessons for the day it was time to go down stairs and hang out. As I was cleaning the kitchen Collin ran in and says to me "Mommy, I want an oreo." (The treat of choice when he goes to the potty)

I tell him, "You know you have to pee pee in the potty to get an oreo."

Dart disappers...2 minutes later

"Mommy I need an oreo please."

"You know you have to pee pee first"

"But Mommy I did!!"

I head to the bathroom and sure enough the potty chair bowl is FULL!! He went in and went to the potty all by himself so he could have his oreo. I know that this doesn't mean we are done with this process but I do know we are at least on the right track!
