Day #1 - Potty Training

I started my 3 Day Potty Training adventure today.  It has been a rough one.  Tyler was woken up too early by Josh and so that did not start the day off well.  He wasn't too happy about putting on underwear, but once it was on he was fine.  We had some fun Toy Story plates and cups that he got when we started the day and he was really happy about that.  I gave him lots of juice and waited for him to have to go to the bathroom.  A little pee came out and he told me that he was wet, so we rushed to the bathroom, but he refused to go on the potty.  We did that three more times within the next 10 minutes (I knew that he must have a bladder full), so I moved the potty from the bathroom into the front room so he could still watch his show.

This worked pretty good because then I noticed him dancing around so I put him on the potty and within a couple minutes he was going pee...lots of pee.  I couldn't believe that it just kept coming out.  Tyler was whining while he was peeing, I think he was having a hard time with actually peeing in the potty and not a diaper.  But he did it and I was very happy for that.  It was the first time that he actually went real pee on the potty, and not just droplets.

He had a lots of accidents where he just peed a little, enough to wet the underwear but not enough to need to go anymore in the potty.  He pooped twice...in his underwear.  I missed the first time while I was making Josh's lunch, but then I caught the second one because he was peeing and so he happened to finish while he was on the potty.  So that was good, I guess.

My cousin, Robin, came over and about 5:30ish we took Josh for a stroller ride.  Josh and I both needed a break from potty training.  So Tony was in charge.  When we got back from a nice walk we found Tony and Tyler asleep in the chair.  It was only 6:00.  Way too early for Tyler to go to sleep.  So Tony put Tyler down and that woke him up and he just cried, so I just laid with him and he went back to sleep.  So I hope that he sleeps all through the night.  He is just in underwear and I am sure that he will wet the bed, but that is part of the learning.  I sure can't wait until this is over and he is all potty trained.  Until then, day number two here I come!
