I had planned to talk about each day in the first week of potty training Jack, but it's been a little too long now to remember the details, so I figured I would hit the highlights:
Wednesday: Bob took Jack to the potty and told him to let him know when he was done. Jack proceeded to do his business while entertaining himself with our kitchen timer. Bob poked his head around the corner and asked, "Whatcha doin' Jack?" Jack replied: "Just checking my email dad." Oh man, that was the highlight of our day!!!!
Thursday: The first time I did not have to change a poopy diaper or pull-up since Jack was born. Whohoo!! We ran to the dollar store so Jack could pick out a toy (he had 10 stickers on his reward chart at this point...I think it worked really well as a motivator for him). He loved his pink car, which he then proceeded to lose the next day. Oh well...good thing it was only a buck.
Friday: Ummm, I think more of the same...a few small accidents, but overall Jack was making progress!!!
The other highlight was taking him to Wal-Mart last week to buy a Hot Wheels monster truck to reward him further for doing so well. The truck has Donkey Kong on it, the beloved Nintendo character of us 80's kids...except that Jack insists on calling him Konkey Dong. Gonna have to work on this one...
Fast forward to today (about 3 weeks after I started potty training): he's now back in big boy underwear! The last two days he's pretty much gone accident free, so I'm going to brave the underwear with him again this week, only this time I think he's much more ready! We'll see...
Next up, Anna is getting ready to walk...at 9 months??
