After keeping two potties in the house for a few months with lukewarm reception from Charlie we decided this was the weekend to go full force and actually put some effort into getting him potty trained.
So we woke up Saturday morning, threw out all the diapers, threw on some big boy underwear and didn't look back. We spent the next three days repeating "If you need to go pee pee or poo poo tell mommy and we'll go to the potty" and "Are your underwear dry? Big boy! Mommy is so proud of you for keeping your underwear dry!"
On day three he is doing an awesome job! We certainly aren't accident-free but every day there are fewer accidents so we are on a good path. He will head back to school for two days tomorrow before we have more days at home again for the holiday.
Holed up in the house, we are getting cabin fever a little but I'm couldn't be prouder of my big boy. I took a lot of pictures because he looks so freakin' sweet in his big boy pants :)
Last moments in diapers
(the only action shot we took)
We had several parades
Daddy showing Charlie the "Chinese Pee Pee Boy"
Thomas stickers were a great incentive. Here he is sharing them with Marley.
Making play-doh
Dressing up in his Native American garb from school
Playing with play-doy. Charlie is cutting his steak (motor skills aren't quite there for actual molding and rolling).
Our holiday creations (Christmas tree, turkey and pumpkin). And yes, James put up the Christmas tree prior to Thanksgiving while we were playing :)
