Potty Training

This Saturday we started potty training, and it was VERY successful I thought. I just imagined pee everywhere! lol

The first day we had 1 accident and 1 successful time going pee. As soon as he woke up we ate breakfast and just started drinking. More drinking and more drinking. No TV. No going outside. Just me, him, puzzles/blocks, and the potty. Every hour we went in there and sat tried and tried. Trying to get that schedule down. However, I think he held it all in for his nap time and bedtime because he woke up both times with huge full pee diapers. After his nap we headed over to the grandparents to visit for a few and that's when the accident happened. He was off running around outside having a blast and didn't come in when it was time. All the older kids were like "EWWW! Aiden peed in his pants!" I quickly responded "Hey don't embarrass him now it's only Day 1 and I'm pretty sure I saw you pee your pants too many times." :-) Silly kids!

Day 2 went MUCH better. Started the same way as yesterday. He started to realize what to do and that his undies were for "Big boys!" I held up a diaper and said "Baby! Are you a Baby!?" he replied "Baby!" Then I held up his new undies "Big Boy! Are you a Big Boy?" he replied "Yes!" It was even funnier, because when we put a diaper on at nap time he was like "Noooo! Baby!" haha "Yes that is a baby, but you aren't ready yet little man".

Day 2 he went pee 2 times and one time we went pee and pooped. That time was hilarious because he got up and looked and said "OHHH BAD! BAD!" So why did he say that?! Because it's what I say to Murph if he ever poops in the kitchen. haha Had to explain how he was good, but Murph is bad. Precious! He was excited by the end giving me big hugs!

Out of both days we only had 4 accidents. Three in day 2, both two we caught early and he finished on the potty in the end (Picture a panicked me holding Aiden up and out from me running into the bathroom. Thank goodness there aren't cameras in here. haha). One of the times from today was heartbreaking for him. I was in the kitchen doing dishes, so I let him watch Little Bear and take his breathing treatment. I see him get up and start running toward the bathroom....then I hear "Momma! Momma! Momma!" So I run to see what's going on....the poor little guy was trying so hard to make it to the bathroom but didn't. Pee trail all the way down the hall. He was so upset, so I comforted him and told him it was okay and accidents happen. At least he was trying so yes he still got a Dum-Dum reward.

Since Wes was off today we had a lovely relaxing day. After lunch we all curled up on the couch to watch the newest Pirates of the Caribbean. Let's just say all 3 of us fell asleep if that tells you anything about the movie. Little man fell asleep on my chest. I woke up like oh crap I really hope he didn't pee on me (because I definitely felt a wetness going on). Thankfully it was just drool! Whew!

In the end we still have lots of training to do...but I'm hoping to have it down in the next few months. I think he can do it!
