Potty Training Day 5
Wow! I cannot believe it has been five days already. Jacob didn't wake up wet in the night until after 4 AM. I will appreciate all forms of improvement. I did learn that I need to stay with him until he falls back to sleep. Those 5 - 10 minutes are much easier to give when the option of no more sleep the rest of the night is the other option! As for the day I worked hard not to make him go potty only ask if he needs to go and ask if he is still dry. He did a good job saying when he needed to go and even said when he needed to go poopy vs just needing to go potty. I usually just had him go on his own which I think he likes better then a caravan of followers. In the end he stayed dry and no poo in the pants! He had two BMs and both made it to the toilet without my forcing--which is good because I cannot predict those! He still needs encouragement to stay until he is done, but as long as he gets himself there without a mess who am I to complain! I think we've been pretty successful! Yippee! I figure we'll be done when he is dry at night, so hopefully that will happen soon, so we can put a check mark in the toilet trained box!

You're POTTY TRAINING! How did I miss this conversation? (Not that I need to know every intimate detail about your life.) Well, congratulations! I hope it continues to go well. I will have to get some tips from you sometime. Potty training has always been an adventure in our house. I still don't think I have it quite figured out yet and I feel like I am constantly reinventing the wheel. Maybe that's the problem. I need to find a consistent method.
You used poopy and BM in the same sentence. Too funny . . .
