I had a long weekend this past weekend so I finally decided to take the plunge and attempt some Potty Training 101 with Kerrick. Unfortunately Jason had to work this weekend so he missed out on all the "fun" on Saturday. We started Saturday morning, in which by 1100 I was already ready to quit as we had been through 5 or 6 outfits already. But I decided to press on and just wash a big load of laundry at the end of day. At nap time, I decided to put a diaper on Kerrick just in case. So after nap time, we put the big boy undies on and went back at it again. So after nap, Caelum was awake and I told Kerrick to show Caelum how to use the potty and then he went. So I went crazy and Caelum was clapping for his big brother and Kerrick was smiling ear to ear. Mind you, I had bought prizes for him, printed out a potty chart and had stickers.....but all it took was to show little brother how to do it and it happened. So from there on he has been using the big boy potty for #1. He would wet his undies a tiny then realize he needed to go potty and would ask before I would even make him sit on the potty. At naps and night time we are still putting him in a diaper. We are not planning on using pull-ups as we do not want to confuse him. Today I took him to school for a couple hours this morning and he used the big boy potty the whole time with no accidents. I then picked up Kerrick to take him to lunch and a little shopping in which he was accident free the whole time!! And now of course, I am like why did we not do this sooner (as I have said many times already in this thing called Parenthood!) So hopefully he keeps up the good work and we will work on the nap and night time thing after he gets the awake time thing down.
And Yes I realize later on he will not like that I posted these pictures......oh well, too cute for now!!
