The Adventures of Potty Training - Part I

Yes, we have taken on the onerous task of potty training Little Man. For the more educated parents out there, let's call it potty learning. For the more militaristic parents out there, let's call it potty boot camp. For those honest parents out there, let's call it an expensive carpet cleaning bill and a lot of gross.

We started yesterday and have seen definite progression. We began by saying goodbye to diapers and hello to only big boy underwear, more specifically Choo Choo and Spiderman Underwear. (He picked them out by himself) But we had immediate and repetitive accidents in the underwear so at 10am I called it "naked booty" time and we had no more accidents all day as long as we were in naked booty state. The cutest part of naked booty was when Little Man put on his crocs and was otherwise totally naked. (Maybe that is just cute to me as his mom) It was a long messy, stressful day.

Today was much better. We had one accident this morning and did a little naked booty time and have been accident free the rest of the day. We even ventured out on a walk with our portable potty (a must have potty learning devise) and it was used mid-walk much to our neighbors chagrin as they got the full moon from Little Man on the main street of our neighborhood. We have given out 2 poop presents and a ton of blue M&M's. Tomorrow we might even go in the car....I am not sure we feel quite that adventurous but you never know.

Go Little Man! We should be trained/learned/mess free by the end of the weekend!!
