I now have FOUR, count 'em, FOUR potty-trained children!!! J has been ready for quite some time, but dh and I have been so busy and just so not in the mood to deal with potty-training with a split-level house (read: you have to go up/down stairs to get to either bathroom), so we've been just putting it off. Well, the poor boy had started to go into the bathroom to go #2, so I finally caved and said OK OK. LOL!
So I took last week off from school. I had planned to wait until dh could take some time off work, but that won't be happening anytime soon with all he has to get done at work and with all the travel he has to do in the next few months, so I gave up on that idea. The older 3 had their spring break, albeit a little later than the public school kids, but hey, they didn't care one bit.
Day 1 - put J in underwear and started taking him potty, and he started going on the potty right off the get go!!! Didn't have an accident until after naptime. That was 10 days ago, and honestly I can't tell you when he's had an accident. I think he has peed in his diaper/pull-up maybe once or twice at naptime/bedtime since then also. #2 has been slow in coming, but that's 'cuz he doesn't get as much opportunity to practice.
But TODAY - woo hoo - TODAY he went #2 TWICE in the potty!!!!! He's coming to tell me when he has to go potty as well. I don't think I had to tell him it's time to go potty at all today. Even if he has a pull-up on (like after naptime), he tells me he needs to go.
So, I think it's official - J is potty-trained!!!!! Yahoo!!!!!
And I am just PRAISING THE LORD that he learned so quickly because, as I said, I do not have the time for that LOL!!!
