Potty Time!

My little guy is growing up!!

We've been encouraging potty time for the past few months, before bath time and on the weekends, but I kept telling myself we're cracking down after the first of the year. He'll be 3 in mid February.

The first couple of days - uh, not so well. Pantless and diaperless, he does super, but put undies on and expect them to be wet. It was very discouraging, but we pushed on.

When I took him to daycare after the holidays, I told Stacy that we'd be working on it, so she'd be prepared if she caught him with his pants down and take it seriously if he mentioned the potty. I thought we could use more practice at home before she got real serious about it at daycare.

Much to my surprise, he's been sitting on the toilet each time he has to go since his first day back to daycare. He's not only doing well at daycare, but at home too!

I was expecting it to be much more of a challenge! It does help tremendously that we've spent most of our days indoors. We didn't have that advantage when potty training Tayten during the end of summer, before his 3rd birthday.

Fingers crossed that he continues to do well!!
