Potty Power

Once we got settled into our new house in Jefferson City I decided to go full force with potty training.  I had a few wayward people warn me that boys are tough to potty train and I should probably wait until he was at least 2 1/2.  Looks like we proved those suckers wrong!!  Just kidding, it did take some time but Noah has done amazingly.  I decided to forgo pull-ups because they are ridiculously over-priced and went full out with underwear.  After 2 days of peeing his pants 4-5 times a day I was a bit frustrated and decided to try it again in a month.  But then I found Potty Power.  This is a video I happened to see in our library a week after the disastrous first attempt.  I got it and thought it might interest Noah.  It was horrendous.  There were children parading around in their underwear, talking toilet paper, and a woman singing about pee and poop.  But it worked miracles.  Noah watched it about 3 times a day for a week and completely got the hang of potty training!!!  It has been a process but he now wears underwear all day (except night, I am still too nervous) and doesn't usually have any accidents.  He will go in public toilets, outside, big potty, little potties, he isn't picky.  I am so proud of our little man who is growing up oh so quickly!

This is actually a picture of Noah way back in May when we first attempted potty training.  I don't have any recent ones except for the first time he pooped on the potty but that is just something that no one wants to see I am sure!
