So day 1 of potty training has been different than I thought it would be. Needless to say, I expected for Bubba to have some accidents, maybe have a success followed by some celebration, and for life be heading in the right direction.
We were doing a great job with trying to potty every 20 min. When the timer goes off we do the "Yay time for potty dance", try to potty, and then get our celebratory piece of candy (a tic tac). We did this for over 2 hours until I got tired.
We sat down on the couch to watch a little Disney Junior and I guess I fell asleep. I must have been asleep for at least 10 min(based on how much of Mickey Mouse I had missed) before I woke to the sound of Jeffrey jumping and yelling saying, "YOU ARE DOING IT BUBBA! GOOD JOB!!! YAY BUBBA!" I jumped up just in time to see that Bubba had pottied in the potty, on the floor, on the couch, a little on the dog and more in the lid of the potty. I started to clap and cheer but honestly at that point he looked at me like I was crazy because I had missed it. Yep, I missed his first time using the potty. I slept right through it.
Well, there goes my Mom of the Year Award. I can't even stay awake to potty train! My 4 year old is being a better cheerleader than I am. OH well, it is what it is. The good thing is that some of it made it into the potty on his first try. In my world, that is a victory!:-) Here is hoping for many more successes in the future. After we master the potty we will work on the underwear. There are two holes for two legs for a reason. I know it looks good as a mini skirt and he totally has the legs for it but I think they would be more comfortable as pants.:-)
