A potty we will go

     So we took plunge and decided to start the dreaded potty training. I always said I wanted to train M&M together, but Max was showing signs of being ready. We have had all of the supplies for a while including a small potty and the toilet seat kind also. He even had pull-ups that I bought once with a coupon.

     Well one reason I felt he was ready was that when he goes swimming lately he hasn't worn a swimming diaper. He always asks to go "pipi" when he is in his trunks. So I figured I think he is ready. Never mind the fact that I was feeling like I was drowning in diapers sometimes!! 

     So on Sunday we went ahead and bought him some CARS underwear. Monday morning I took him to potty and talked-up his new underwear. He did great, I even took him to baby bootcamp (BBC) in big boy underwear. He went potty before and after class. I kept reminding him all day to go and I'd bribe him by picking a favorite car. He took his nap in a diaper, then I put underwear on him when he woke up. I thought we were right on track until he would tell me he had to go, then we wouldn't quite make it. Then the dreaded #2. From about 4-7pm we went through 7 diapers!! That night I wanted to give up, and put a diaper on him. Well he kept asking to go the bathroom. No turning back anymore. So day #2 wasn't great, but we survived with 7 soiled diapers. Now we are on day #3. He woke up dry and hasn't had an accident yet. I did put him in a pull up today for BBC and a trip to Target and his nap. No accidents at all AND he even went #2 in the toilet. WOOHOO!! I know we still have a long way to go, but I am so proud of my baby boy!!

p.s I sing after he goes - "Max went pipi in the potty, Max went pipi in the potty, Max went pipi in the potty because he's a really big boy" - sung to Blues Clues song "We just got a letter"
