Potty Time

We are potty training and for the most part it's been a piece of cake.  This little boy has been interested since 18 months.  I kept dreading the training but when he was already pooping in the toilet consistently at home i got 'told' to do it!  We did the bare bottom method and he was pretty excited to be naked all day.  Basically you force fluids all day and keep them naked and make sure to watch and notice his signs that he has to pee.  Once he gives you a sign you ask if he needs to go to the bathroom and then stick him on the toilet.  He caught on fast.  By the end of the first day he was going on his own.  So I kept him naked or in loose shorts after the first day.  I started this the week of his birthday and he's doing so good!  The underwear is hard for him to get off fast, and when he needs to go he needs to go!  He's starting to hold it longer which is nice.  I am glad we're training.  I thought it would suck but it's been nice not to clean any poopy diapers.
