Potty Time

Well it has been a little while since that last post, but I had to get through the holidays and the virus Hayden had. After a week and a half of throwing up and NASTY diapers he is doing much better and is back to his spasmic self! Now we are going full force ahead on the potty training. I am so tired of changing tee-tee and poo-poo diapers it's not even funny and I think he is actually ready to start also. I started a while back just rewarding him with stickers and then I moved on to a sticker chart, where every time he went to the potty successfully he got a sticker and in the end he would get a toy for a full chart. That went well for the first 2 times and then he didn't really care so much. After that I moved on to giving him candy and stickers for a successful moment. After I saw that he had a good response to both of those I bought him some "big boy pants". Today was a great day!!! He has gone 5 times in one day with the only major accident being that he didn't sit back far enough on the toilet and soaked EVERYTHING! I put them on him after he had on a pull up, after he soaked that I put the underwear on him and told him that if he went to the bathroom in his pants he was getting a time out. Immediately he said, "go potty now" I got him to the potty and immediately he went. Not 5 minutes later he said he had to potty again! I can't tell you how happy this makes me, I'm definitely a mom that is beyond excited about this potty thing. Now I'm just scared about doing the number 2... guess we'll see how that goes later. I'll let y'all know about tomorrow. :o)
