Well today was the last day of potty training at home, tomorrow JP returns to school and I pray that he does well and that I have packed enough extra clothes for him. We are very proud of him and we have had very few accidents. I will say that on Friday evening I thought to myself that maybe he is not ready but Saturday there was a change that made me feel that he will be able to complete this hard task! What I can say is that I am more tired than I expected, but its worth it when I see how happy he is when he comes to tell me that he went in the potty, that sweet happy face makes it worth it.
So this is what I did:
Friday- set a timer for him to go and sit on the potty every 15-20 minutes, which got expanded to every 30 minutes when he was not needing to go at 15-20 minutes. I would let him sit on the potty for as long as he wanted to, so we read books, watched shows/movies and played games on the Ipad! We had our accidents this day.
Saturday morning-the same routine as Friday, but that afternoon I had him go without underwear as my mom felt that he may not know where the pee was coming from, that worked!!!!
Sunday he started to know when he needed to go to the potty and he would go on his own!
Monday morning we woke up to a surprise, his diaper was dry, John and I were excited for him! It took him a while to go this morning but he knew when he needed and he ran to his potty!!
Know that he is not perfect with the potty yet, but I feel that we have had a great start and I know that we will still have our accidents, but I look forward to buying him big boy underwear and not diapers anymore and so will my bank account!!!!!
JP you have amazed us this weekend and have been a great sport with it all! We love you and are so proud of you!!!!
