Potty training

Picture a three day weekend trapped in a small room just you your son and a frog potty. This was the scene I created trying to follow a mix of a one day and three day method for potty training. The first day there was a lot of playing and not caring a bit about the toilet, asking for a diaper and questioning my sanity. The second day was another rough morning but we had a better afternoon and more motivation to push through. Sunday proved to be better but also a set back when he pooped all over grandmas floor before I could finish blinking. At this point I knew Justin was questioning my decision to try this but we had made enough progress I was convinced to stick with it. It has been almost a month now and while the first two weeks came with their fair share of accidents I am happy to say we are fully potty trained. He still has some two year old potty dance moments but typically he tells you he has to go and wants to do it completely independently. We must have done a lot of clapping early on because he also applauds himself when he goes. It has been really nice not changing diapers and it is just one more thing to make me realize how big Seth is. He is definitely not my baby anymore.
