Day 2!!!!! a few tips!

So day 2 of potty training started of a bit differently since JP spent the night at Grammy and Grandpa's for the first time with me having control. Don't get me wrong he has spent the night at Grammy and Grandpa's before but that is due to me being out of town and in the hospital with the birt of Corley!!!! So yesterday was a day filled with lots of first. So when he got up, Grammy took him to the bathroom and put him in his big boy underwear, I believe this morning we had at least 3 accidents. Grammy told me that she thinks that he may not know where the pee is coming from so she suggested after nap to let him run around with no underwear or pants on and see if that helps! So after nap I was able to get him to sit on the potty and nothing, but did not put big boy underwear back on.....well it was the best advice! Around 5:15 pm I was in my bedroom looking up something with Corley and JP was in the living room and I heard him say "mommy help", so I went to see what was wrong and he said "I pee" and he was sitting on his potty, but I figured that he peed on the floor and I needed to find it, he stood up from his potty and guess what, I found it!!!!! I was so excited I yelled GREAT JOB JP, that is amazing, you did it, now you get a prize!!!!!!! Of course there was a ton of hugging going on and high fives!!!! I was so proud that he knew to go to his potty and pee and I did not have to tell him!!!!!! That was the only time today that he peed in the potty and he has not gone since, but hey it has to start somewhere! He knew what prize he was getting because I told him that when he pees in the potty that I would give him a new train for his train set, ( like he needs another one, but hey if it works I will buy all that I can afford that is).

So I will have to say that yesterday was probably a good benefit of having him sit on the potty every 30 -45 minutes as that helped him learn how to pull off his pants and to sit. He has watched more movies and tv shows than I would ever let him, but there is so many books I can read to him until he gets bored! So a great tip/advice from my mommy was probably the reason why he did pee in the potty!!!!

I will say that we have called it enough for the day and he is in bed sleeping and that is where this one tired mommy needs to go too! So goodnight. Update tomorrow!
