Operation: Potty Train

UPDATE BELOW!!!


So, I decided Spring Break was the time - Ayden was going to be potty trained! I've always said I didn't want to change two diapers if it wasn't necessary. I've tried to potty train him a few times before, and honestly, I gave up on the first day. This time I was determined.


Day one was not so good. We decided to hitch a ride with Grandma to go visit Aunt Jennifer and Cole. Ayden did so well on the way down there! A few minutes from our destination, Ayden says, "Oh cruddy!" from the back seat. Keni and I assumed he had peed in his carseat, but the little booger had held it! We pulled over and he completely filled up his portable potty. What a trooper! Of course, he then proceeded to pee in two pairs of jeans and three pairs of underwear. But hey, it was only day one.


And did I mention I just completely took all of his diapers away? He fell asleep Sunday night and I took all the extras we had, as well as the diaper holder on his bed, and hid them. When he was confused Monday morning as to where his diapers were I advised him the diaper fairy took them. His reply: "Yup, daddy took 'em". I freaking died laughing.


Day two was slightly better, but still a lot of accidents. However, by day three, he was doing quite well. Day 4, I put him down without a pull up on at nap time and he managed to stay dry the whole time! He has been sleeping through the night and naps without accidents ever since, but he have started having a few accidents lately during the day. From what I have heard, this is natural, so I am hoping he gets over it quickly!


Way to go, Ayden!


So something told me posting this last night might lead to problems: and I was right, unfortunately. Ayden had his first accident during the night last night. He came to bed with us about 3:00. Then, proceeded to not get up this morning and instead peed on my hip. This is going to be a great day....

Keep up with the work and stay determined. I love his reply to the diaper fairy. HAHA---too smart.

It is all worth it in the end. Especially monetarily.
