Project Potty Training!

I am pleased to report that Miles has really done well with potty training. I was quasi-following the Potty Training in 3 day manual and I must admit I was a skeptic at first and still wasn't convinced by the end of day 1. Miles went to school and i am to assume that he did well because he was still wearing the same clothes. He has been having NO accidents and asking to use the potty and use it! He is soooooo cute in the BIG BOY undawears! He loves to wear them, mostly taking them off. He was flashing the cheeks a few times! We will continue this journey, we couldn't be more proud of you Miles! I feel so lucky that I was home to show him the ropes. Not having a 9-5 outside of the home has allowed me to pick up where we left off a year and a half ago!

WAY TO GO MILES!

Potty Training!

DAY 1
This is Miles on his first day of Potty training. I took off his pull-up ant told him that we are going to be putting our pee and poop in the toilet from now on. He listened to me and looked as if I had given him a lecture on quantum physics! I was dead tired after having spent the night at a sleep study. Miles made 4 total accidents and no deposits in the potty. I do put a pull up on him for sleep times but as soon as he gets up they undies go right back on!

DAY 2

I don't have a pic for day 2, however I have great news to report Miles only messed up two pairs of undies and and made a pee pee deposit. His nannie( Arlene) was there to witness it! He was so excited that he put pee in the potty. He was singing and dancing around the house. I have had my eyes glued on him every second so that I would be able to see what he looks like when he gets the urge! He is so cute ! He says things like I pee peed !

Day 3

Today Miles had to wear a pull up for an errand but he still is responsible for letting us know if he has to pee or poop. By the time we got home it was nap time and he had on undies once he woke up! He began to look funny and was grabbing his penis and had a nervous look and he ran toward the bathroom and i picked him up and put him on the pot and he peed. He kept saying he was finished and I was able to distract him by singing a song and he peed again. The some time later he asked for the potty and he had an explosion! (nuff said). Then he was off and playing again. I noticed that he was tugging at his undies so I carted him to the potty twice and he did nothing. He had this deer in headlights look and I knew it! He wouldn't move at all and before I knew it he had pooped and I had to carry him to the bathroom and clean him up. We tossed the undies, put on a new pair and we have been smooth sailing ever since. He has peed once more in the potty and haven't had to change his undies. He goes back to his afternoon class tomorrow and they will be instructed no to put a pull up on him. So stay tuned for more of the Adventurers of Potty Training!
