PoTtY tRaINeD!!

That is right we have a little boy running around wearing underware!! and YES those are Thomas underware...LOL!!

There really is not a lot to the story it was much EASIER then I ever thought. (I can say that now!) We started full on potty training the Monday after Benjamin's Birthday party (3/9/09). That afternoon when he woke up from nap we took off the diaper and went with it. He had a few accidents but did make it to the potty most of the time. He was so excited!! After he used the potty each time we gave him the option of a piece of candy or a sticker for a reward (we did this for about 1week and then just stopped giving it to him unless he asked which only lasted a couple of days). By Friday we were wearing underware all day and then on Saturday when Daddy was home we braved going to Target and Chick fil a (we ate and played). He did AWESOME!! The first couple of times we went out we carried his potty seat with us it seemed to make him feel more comfortable but now we don't even give it a thought. He is wearing underware all day (yes even during naptime) but he does still wear a pull up still at night.

YAY Christian we are soo proud of you!!

For those of you interested there was only a one "funny" during the training process....

He had one poppy accident and that was on Thursday of the first week it was not good Ed was out that evening (which is RARE) and I was getting the boys ready for a bath and bedtime. Well Christian was wandering around and I just went down the hall to get some PJ's for the boys when I heard him yelling OH NO MOMMMYYY!! I went running into the bathroom and as I opened the door there was poo in the floor and he was VERY upset about it he was close to the potty he just didn't make it. He was SOO UPSET that he had an accident and to make matters worse he stepped in it! So I picked him up and put him on the potty while I cleaned it up. I had aslo taken a moment to run out and put Benjamin in the exersaucer so he would be contained while I cleaned it up (it was upstairs b/c he has outgrown it and I used it just because I needed him to sit for a minute while I cleaned up the mess!!). So I run back in the bathroom to clean up the mess and then while I am in the midde of cleaning up the bathroom door starts moving...hmmm how is that happening Christian is on the potty and Ed is not home?! Well you guessed it...it was Benjamin he had crawled out of the exersacuer and to the bathroom AHHH!! well what does he do he also steps in the poo on the floor that I am trying to clean up sooo.....I take off the sleeper he was wearing and sit him in the empty tub with a couple of toys while I rushed to clean up the rest of the mess. Needless to say it was quite a night at our house. I did manage to get the boys both bathed and in bed and the poo did get cleaned up off of the floor. It was not fun at the time but will definetly be a funny story to share with him when he is older. And just incase you were wondering there has not been a poopy accident since! :0)
