We told Jack that when he turned three he had to start using the potty but since we were traveling and Josh was gone I kept putting it off. Well I had a Dr. appointment on Thursday Morning, November 29, and Josh kept the kids. When I got home he was leaving for work and said oh yeah Jack has been in underwear all morning. I was so mad at first because I hadn't mentally prepared myself for this but he was right I would have kept putting it off and finding another excuse to wait. That morning was ROUGH. I set a timer and had him sit on the potty every 10 min and he never went then he would go as soon as he got in the living room. He hated being wet so that was good but we only had 5 pair of underwear so I had to do a lot of laundry that day. I had Josh stop and get another pack on his way home from work. Finally about 3pm he was sitting on the potty and he saw himself pee and the look on his face was priceless. I don't think he even knew what peeing was until that moment. He then went pee on the potty the rest of the day and got candy as a reward. We put him in a diaper for bed though. The next day was so good. He used the potty every time and we even went to costco and sportsman's warehouse and he didn't have any accidents. When we got home Kristen wanted us to come out so we did and he was playing with her kids and peed himself but I take blame for that because it was way to soon to have him go play. Sat went good, no accidents then Sunday he went all three hrs of church and didn't pee himself. We were so proud and we kept telling him that and he loved it. He would come up to me randomly and say "you so proud of me mom?" with a big smile on his face. The only problem we were having was getting him back into underwear in the morning and getting the diaper on him at night so we decided to just leave him in underwear and he has done so good. He hasn't wet the bed once in a week. Pooping is another story though. He would still go hide and we would have to grab him and run him to the potty but he refused to do it himself Well tonight he went poop on the potty by himself and was so happy. Josh took him and told him how proud he was of him and Jack just ran around singing "Daddy's so proud of me, Daddy's so proud of me" It was soooo cute. I will admit I was DREADING potty training but it has been really smooth. What can I say Jack is a great kid :)
