UPDATE: Potty Training

DISCLAIMER: The discussion of doing #2 in the potty is being written about, do not read if you have a weak stomach or you are eating.
As many of you know we have been working on potty training and it has been going very well. I've decided to stop buying pull ups and just put Hayden in underwear and that is going GREAT! I had one incident where number 2 didn't make it to the potty in time and totally freaked Hayden out, but I think we have remedied that situation, by going in the potty. This morning he came to me right after he had already peed in the potty and said, "Need to potty again" so I said to myself, OK whatever let him go. So I took him and sat him on the toilet and he right after he got up there he said, "gone now, I finished" as I figured so he got dressed again and went on, a couple of minutes later we went through this 2 more times until I said, "Hayden do you need to poo poo?" He said, "I poop" right after that I left him alone going back to the kitchen to fix lunch and I hear him screaming like a little girl saying, "mama, mama", he was pretty freaked out by this movement but of course I was elated, the best thing since sliced bread for sure!!! I was so excited I told him without thinking to put any stipulations on this reward, "after you wake up from your nap we will go to Walmart and get any toy you want" thank Heavens he is only two and maybe he won't take that like a 15 year old would. ~eek~

Awesome! We really need to get serious with ours. I think we have a game plan, it's so hard because they are twins and one is ready (will tell you when he needs to go), the other couldn't care less.
So we are going to try regular undies for the one who is ready, and pull ups for the ones that's not. We better get it right soon because they start pre-k in the fall!
