\"A<\/a>

A big boy deserves big boy underwear!<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, I am (knock on wood) extremely pleased with how potty training has been going with Josiah.\u00a0 The first hour of training was excellent followed by a tragic second hour with 2 accidents and lots of tears (wow–does he ever hate the feeling of having wet pants!).\u00a0 So for the rest of yesterday we followed a pretty rigorous schedule of checking every 15-20 min and heading to the bathroom A LOT but, happily, there were no more accidents.<\/p>\n

In fact there haven’t been any accidents yet today either, and we’ve pushed out the “checking” time to almost 40 min. now so we’re definitely making progress.\u00a0\u00a0 Later this afternoon we are going to attempt heading out to the church to do some organizing in the new nursery, so hopefully that new challenge will be a positive experience for him as well.<\/p>\n

Also, as a tid-bit if amusing information, he is generally so pleased with himself for going potty on the big toilet that he doesn’t even require any type of reward.\u00a0 I had candy and little toy cars all ready to hand out every time he used the toilet and he is so happy afterwards that he doesn’t even ask for them.\u00a0 In fact I offered him candy yesterday and he TURNED IT DOWN!\u00a0 (Are we sure this is my child?) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I vividly recall breaking down in tears of frustration during the first and second days of potty training Chloe.\u00a0 And I remember thinking afterwards that she was “easy” to train.\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 So, we’ll see how the next few days progress, but I’m very happy.\u00a0 And he’s very happy too!\u00a0 ESPECIALLY now that he gets to wear big boy underwear!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"So<\/a>

So happy about the underwear!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Seriously--he<\/a>

Seriously–he was REALLY happy about the underwear.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Yes,<\/a>

Yes, this is him hugging the new underwear.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"potty<\/a>

Getting to go on the big toilet has it benefits!<\/p><\/div>\n
