Day #2 - Potty Training (SUCKS)

I totally spaced posting last night, so I am doing it now while both boys are taking naps.  So yesterday was day #2 of this awesome journey they call "Potty Training."  He did a little better yesterday.  He made it to the potty most of the time.  He did pee his pants one time when I put him in time out for not listening.  It's almost like he thinks that he can do whatever he wants just because he's potty training...he is so wrong about that.

He did wake up once during the night all wet, but I just changed his shirt and underwear and put a towel over the spot and he went back to sleep and then woke up dry.  So that was very good for his first night with no diaper.  He went poop two or three times...all in his underpants.  I caught one when he just started, but I didn't catch the others.  He just has no signs that is about to poop or is currently pooping.  So, that kind of sucks.

We have been trying to stay positive and still give him lots of praise, but I tell you what, that has been hard too.  Sometimes I just want to yell "I told you to tell me if you had to go potty...AHHHHHHH" - but this method doesn't look highly on that so I refrain.  I should refrain anyway because I know that yelling is not going to potty train him, it is only going to make things harder.

He didn't ask for a diaper either, another small victory.  I even got him to sit on the regular toilet (with a potty chair on top) before his bath and he even peed.  He doesn't like big toilets at all.  Then he peed a little more right before bed and slept the whole night without an accident.  I say that is a WONDERFUL thing.

All in all the 2nd day wasn't too terrible, but I will be so happy when all this potty training stuff is done!
