We knew it was coming. The inevitable was bound to happen and there was really no way to avoid it. We decided that since I was off work this week, it would be a good time to start potty training. Besides, I am really tired of buying diapers.
It started off really rough! I was a little nervous. We had three accidents pretty much in a row. Our timing was off a little bit. We were on 15 minute intervals, so we adjusted down to 10 minutes. And ... yes, we timed to the minute using the microwave as the timer.
Once we got our timing right, he was peepeeing like a champ. And he has VERY little experience with the potty. We've tried to get him interested, but he just hasn't.
Before long, we were working like clockwork and he was even starting to let us know when he was ready to peepee. Our issue at this point, was he kept saying he needed to poopoo and not peepee.
We were thrilled when Reed woke up dry from his nap.
The fourth accident happened about 6:30, about 9 hours after the previous accident.
That's pretty good for day 1, I think! Plus, I think I've might lost a little weight because I have been up and down the stairs 3000 times!
Enjoy a couple of videos;

Way to go, Reed! AWESOME!
Two thumbs up, Jeff! Holly's been hit and miss for a long time with potty training and went threw a stubborn phase. Christmas is going to be her run around naked for two weeks to potty train! Although, her babysitter offered to do it right after Thanksgiving...which I will take her up on if I'm smart!!
Good luck! I hope potty training is short, sweet, and pretty pain free for you all!
