Potty training is not something I really look forward to, but once it is done, I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted. It is a little daunting because once you start, there is no going back. You have to commit to be at home all day for a few days, and you must expect there will be some messes to clean. The first day, especially, is a hard one since you have to convince your toddler to sit on the potty a lot. Thankfully, Caleb was pretty cooperative, especially since peanut butter M&Ms were involved. Caleb was so determined to go on the potty that first day that he fell asleep on my legs! I'm sure he will really appreciate me sharing this someday when he is older, but I couldn't resist.
Once it finally happens, there is such a celebration! I kept telling him I was so proud of him, so now when he goes he says, "I so pwowd of youuuu." He has done so so well! We had a prayer night at church Wednesday night, which was day 3 of his training. I put him in a diaper just in case he had an accident and he used the potty at church! We still have some issues with #2, but that day will come. And, we will celebrate again!
He is growing up so fast!
