Let it begin. Potty Training

Well. It's time. Aiden is showing majority of the signs he is ready...Potty Training!!
  • Doesn't like to be in a soiled diaper
  • Tells me if he's poop or peed
  • Interested in the potty
  • Likes to mimic us or follow us in the bathroom
So off I went for tips and ideas...because I am CLUELESS in this department!

Supplies:
  1. Training Pants (For night time and for traveling since I don't want to risk a accident until I feel we are fully trained)
  2. Waterproof undies to put over his normal undies (Hopefully this will help him when he's training so we don't have pee over everything if there is an accident)
  3. Big boy undies (Only superhero one's will do.)
  4. Potty books (To keep him on the toilet while we wait)
  5. Reward jar and stickers (Already have lots of stickers, so I picked up some PB M&Ms and a canister from Target-in white. Just need to make a label for it and keep Wes out of the jar. lol) 
  6. Charts (Now you know I love an excuse to make charts-click on the picture to see the whole thing or if you want to save and use yourself.... Once every star has a sticker he gets a reward. The other is to help me keep track and figure out his patterns. His daycare does checks every hour so I will keep that routine going.)
  7. Potty (We got him a small floor potty because he was having a hard time climbing on the toilet and almost fell off so many times) Ended up getting the BABYBJORN Smart Potty
We are starting bright and early Saturday so wish us luck!!! I'm terrified but have to keep a solid front. EEEEK! We can do it! We can do it! Lots of pictures and results to come.
