It's Potty Time!

For Logan that is! We started hardcore potty training this past Saturday and we are happy to report that Logan is doing awesome and we can pretty much say he is daytime potty trained! Saturday morning was a bit of a struggle, he did not want to give up his diapers, so at first we let him wear a pull up, he went on the potty but then a minute later when again in his pull-up. So we switched gears and let him go commando in his pj bottoms which would be easy for him to get down and up on his own. We set a kitchen timer and made him sit on the potty every time it went off, and he did and sometimes he went before the timer went off, but only if we asked him if he had to go. He had a couple of accidents, but did more in the potty than out. I had to skate on Saturday so I took Ava out to my Mom's so Matt could just work with Logan and by the time I got back from skating Logan was using the potty on his own. We put him back in diapers for bedtime and called it a pretty successful day. Sunday morning Logan woke up early and Matt put another diaper on him thinking he would go back to sleep, but nope Logan was ready for the day and he promptly took off his own diaper and went and sat on his potty...wow! Sunday Logan started with the timer, but was so good about going on the potty on his own, we sometimes forgot to reset it and he did good without it. On his second day of potty training he did not have one accident, Matt and I were shocked at how easy of a time we were having. Since Logan was doing so good, on Monday we wore his first pair of big boy undies (Thomas of course) and some of his track pants (easy to get down) to see how he would do, while he needed a little help once in awhile, he did great. He had one accident on Monday, I had not used the timer that day and he was busy playing trains and forgot to go. He wanted a diaper right after the accident and I could tell he was really upset about it, but I told him it was ok and accidents happen when you are learning and that he was doing an awesome job. He hasn't had an accident since though and we are so proud of him! We haven't ventured out with him yet, gymnastics or school will probably be his first trip out without diapers, but he is doing great so I bet he will handle that just fine. At school I know they will work with him so that will be helpful. So I guess it's true when they say, when they are ready it will be easy, because it sure has been, we couldn't be happier with the way things are going! Only having to change one kids diapers a day is AWESOME!!!
