So he's been showing a lot of interest in using the big potty like big brother. He's been pulling his pants down and trying to get his diaper off. So a couple of weeks ago I pulled out the Elmo potty and the Dominos had their second "Potty Party."
We "hooray'ed" and "hurrah'ed" when he sat on the potty for the first time.
Then we watched the oh-so-helpful potty movie (which I dislike even more the second time around!) over and over and over again.
Micah helped Caleb climb on and off the potty all day long.
And, shocker of all shockers, Caleb used the potty every single time he needed to go that day. He came up to me early on, no pants on, and tugged on my shirt saying, "potty, potty!" So I reluctantly followed him to the potty just in an effort to keep up his excitement over the newness. I was shocked when I looked in and saw that he'd gone to the restroom!
He used it successfully all day. And I walked around like a proud mama! My child was so intellegent he didn't even need to be trained!
Fast forward two weeks later and Caleb has not ONCE used the potty since that day. We kept him in undies for a few days and then got tired of all the laundry and stain remover. So he's in pull-ups.
But he still loves to sit on the potty. He's naked from the waist down most days now!
