Day #3 - Potty Training

Well today was a little better.  We definitely have gone through a lot less underwear today then we did on the first day of potty training.  To be honest, I wish that it would have gone better today.  I have heard that potty training is hard, but I was some what hoping that it would just magically click with Tyler and it would be easy.  That was crazy thinking.

Josh has been really good through all of this.  He got a couple new teeth last week and I think that his other front tooth is coming now and that has been hard on him.  He has been good dealing with all the attention that Tyler is getting right now.  His time will come soon enough.


He did great during the night last night.  He still pooped in the underwear today, I guess we will still have to work on that one.  He didn't have any major accidents where he just peeped his pants, so that is good.  The last time that he really went to the potty tonight he told me he had to go, while walking to the bathroom, and didn't leak at all in his underwear...that was a big deal.  First time that he told me he had to go -- he had yet to do that at all during this whole process.  Then he didn't leak any pee, this seems to be a hard one for him.  He likes to hold it all in as long as he can and then he slowly leaks out but doesn't want to sit on the potty and pee.  That is frustrating.

While I was shopping  at Walmart today I got Tyler a Buzz Lightyear pajama set  and he really loves it.  I gave him it after he went on the potty.  It is so fun to see him get so excited over little gifts.  After Tyler goes on the potty we sing "Tyler is so awesome, Tyler is so great!"  It is so much fun.  Tyler then dances around and sings "I'm so awesome, I'm so awesome!"  Sometimes Tyler will say that it is hard to go on the potty and Tony taught him that doing hard things makes us stronger and better.  Tyler now says that when we talk about getting stronger or doing hard things.  It is way cute how he's learning things so fast.

I guess we will see what happens tonight.  We are planning on going to church tomorrow and then to my parents for dinner, so I hope that he does well.  I will plan on bringing extra underwear and shorts for I am sure we will need them, but I hope that I am wrong.
