On the potty train!

How cute is that smile?!!! He was posing for my camera so I am glad I got the picture. This is what we are up to this week. Riding around in big boy underwear. Even outside.


I tried this once before, back in July, but then Henry got strep and I had to put potty training on hold. I was just waiting for a good time. And I realize there is not going to be a "good" time so I went with a "better" time.


So this week we started the Potty Train- as Henry calls it. So far it has been going better than I expected. Some accidents , of course, but he is peeing in the potty for the most part! I am trying a different approach this time, to potty training since Henry doesn't talk as well as the other two did at this age. I am having him wear just underwear and no pants so that it is a constant reminder that he is on the potty train. I think if he has pants on he will forget. And then if he is more aware of his underwear maybe he will tell me if he has to pee. And maybe I will understand what he is telling me faster and can get him to the potty right away. So far it has been working. Plus, I mean face it, it is way easier to change one wet layer than two. Each child had his and her own set of potty issues. So each were handled differently. But I definitely feel Henry is ready. Progress report: He stayed dry this evening while we were outside playing. And after dinner he came to me and told me he had to go potty!


I do hope he gets it soon. It is starting to cool off here and the neighbors are going to think I am weird.
