Progress

This last week we are making some progress with potty training! Everyone told me that with boys it would be easier to train without wearing anything and I am learning that is the case. Hayden has been running around the house playing "streaker". For some reason it helps him to remember that he needs to use the potty when he has nothing on. When he is wearing underwear or pull ups, he forgets and then has an accident. He is doing surprisingly well and has even used the potty for other business too! We are still using diapers at night and the occasional pull-up, but mostly when he's home he runs around sans clothing. It makes for some cute pictures of a little boy in his boots with nothing else on. I don't know what it is that has made him suddenly want to use the potty, but I am glad that it's clicking and so ready to only have one little kiddo in diapers! Keep up the good work Hayden!

He did it again!!!

I can't believe it, but Hayden used the potty this morning!! He acted like he wanted to take his diaper off, so I did, but told him to let me know if he needed to go potty. He quickly got up and ran down the hall to his room. I realized that the bathroom door was closed so I opened it and he went right in and sat down. He only went a little bit, but I made a big deal out of it and he seemed excited. He even had to reach in and touch it before I could stop him. So, of course, we washed hands and put a diaper on. Then we headed out the house to the store because we HAD to go get underoos. Can I tell you how cute these things are!!! I know it's a little early, but I figured we would wear them when we're home. It's worth a shot. He's showing interest, so why not?

It will probably never happen again

Just a little while ago Hayden had undone his diaper. I asked him if he wanted to take it off and he said yes. I figured it was no big deal to let him run around "nakey baby" and just said "if you need to potty, let mommy know." I was in my room when I heard some music, but didn't think much of it because of all the toys in the house that play in music. I realized he was in the bathroom and when I went in, he was sitting on the potty. That in itself is a big accomplishment! But there was no product in the potty so I just praised him for getting on it at all. At least he's showing interest. I went about my business.

I was cleaning his bathroom and not really paying attention. I don't know when he did it, but he showed me that he had tried to use the potty!!!!! I think he tried to use it "daddy style" because it was mostly on the floor and just a little bit in the potty, but he did it!!! He seemed upset that it was on the floor, but I was just so happy that he'd even attempted. I can't believe that he's such a big boy. It probably won't happen again for a while and we weren't even planning on trying for few months, but I'm so excited!! I can't wait to tell Craig
