Potty time

We have begun to potty train Brandon and I can't lie it is one of the most difficult things that we have done. He knows exactly when he has to go but has trouble getting to the potty on time. Today we had a breakthrough and he went on the potty after sitting on it for 20 minutes. I was also feeding him M&Ms. I knew he had to go, but for some reason he likes to go in the corner or his closet. I guess he doesn't like an audience? Who knows. But we are on day 2 and he is finally going on the potty.

It's funny I was saying everything to get him to go. But finally I just asked him to show me his pee pee and he looked down and started going. I went complete cheer squad on him with singing, dancing, and tons of praise. Oh and he finally got the tootsie roll I promised him if he went on the potty.

Even though we only had one successful potty adventure today. And it was in the kitchen on the potty chair (we'll move it to the bathroom soon enough). It's much better than yesterday where we had no successful potty trips. Today just means one less change of underwear and pants.... Did I forget to mention we took diapers away during the day. It's messy but he's learning faster. We only put a diaper on for nap and bedtime.

One can only hope things just continue to improve. But for the next couple weeks we'll be staying home a lot to work on training.
