BIG BOY!

I am so proud of my troublemaker! We started the potty training a week and a half ago. We started on a wed had a SLIGHTLY rough first day, a better second day an even better third day (no accidents but despite the fact that he refused to poo in anything but his diaper he kept having what we call "fart too hards" and we'd end up with skid marks in his undies. That's the worst of it. Saturday (day 4) NO ACCIDENTS as was that way up until this past Friday. (almost an entire week with NO ACCIDENTS). I don't even have to bug him about if he needs to go. He knows, he goes and we praise! I was dreading it so much and it's been great so far. Although he waits till we put his night time diaper on him to poo. (he's only pooed once in the potty) Once we get past that it's smooth sailing. Now I just need to figure out how to potty train sleeping. Any suggestions?!? I don't have a clue where to start! But I haven't put a diaper on Ethan (except his one at night) in over a week! I'M THRILLED and Ethan loves his Elmo briefs. What a big boy.

Yay Ethan! Caleb did really good just by not letting him drink anything for a couple hours before bed. Yes, he complained, but he stayed dry. No ideas for the poo. Caleb pooed his underwear for almost a year. NOT FUN! I was about ready to go back to diapers. Poopy UNDERWEAR are the worst!
