Day 4 - 3 Day Potty Training

Day 4 went really well. Will woke up around 7:30am and was dry! 3rd morning in a row. He asked to go potty. I still reminded him a lot but I tried to give him his space some. We didn't leave the house but we did watch a couple TV shows (which we haven't done the last 3 days). He had a few incidents where he asked to potty and his underwear were a tad bit wet, but by the end of the day when he asked they were still dry! YAY! He also pooped this morning. He is still hesitant on going #2 and he asks to potty a couple times before he actually will poop. But he is so proud when he does! He called Daddy and DeeDee to tell them after he did it today and then pretending he was calling other family members to tell them as well. SO cute!

I have realized he pees a lot more in the morning than he does in the afternoon/evening. SO...I think we are there. I have a potty that I plan on keeping in the car but the logistics of leaving the house still bother me a bit. I would just hate for him to have to go and us not be in the position to stop. He is holding it much better and today we talked about holding it until we get to the actual potty. I think we'll be good soon. I hope so! We might run a quick errand tomorrow to test the waters and then go play at a friend's house on Wednesday. Chris and I also told Will we'd take him to dinner to celebrate that he is a big boy! He asked to go to MiCocina, of course! We've trained him well! :)

Thanks for all the encouraging words and advice over the past few days! I'm sure I'll have more questions for many of you as we figure this out! Thanks to M&Ms for being such tasty treats for little ones and thanks to the inventor of the sticker! Both were critical in our process. And thanks to Clorox wipes, because Will thinks it is really great to dump the pee into the potty. So even if we make it there, we end up cleaning up something after all. You pick your battles, right?

Will - we are SO proud of you and love you so much! You are such a BIG BOY now, but you'll always be our little man!
