I have been hesitant to blog about my potty training experience with Nixon because I didn't want to jynx it! :) Now that we have gone a whole week (in kid world (esp. regarding pee-pee) 7 days is a LIFE TIME!!!) without any accidents, I am ready to declare that NIXON IS OUT OF DIAPERS and IN BIG BOY UNDIES!!! Woo hoo! Oh my goodness, I think this was one of my toughest challenges yet as a Mommy!
Here are some of the STATS on his potty training:
(He is going to LOVE this blog entry when he's older!)
*Start date: Monday Oct 26th (5 accidents), lots of crying (i joined him by the end of the afternoon!)(He is going to LOVE this blog entry when he's older!)
*Potty Training Type: "Hold-Out-Kid." Less accidents. But holding out for up to 3.5hours at a time to go pee, just because he didn't want to face reality. Holding his #2 for up to 3 days, til he made his tummy hurt! I hate to admit this, but he gets this from my side of the family. (aah ahh choooRYANooo! oh, excuse me! allergies!)
*How long did we stay home? 3 days
*His Fave Big Boy Undies: Paul Frank Monkey Undies & Spiderman
*Potty Incentives that worked: Sugarless Gum and Coins$
*How many times we almost quit: 4
*When I knew he had it: Nov. 1st (my birthday!)
*Big Supporters: Daddy, Mimi, and Papa* (On Day 5, M&P took him overnight and continued the training. I think this change-up did WONDERS! New Trainers, New setting. :)
*First public bathroom he used: Henry's
*Crazyiest place he's gone: Post Office & Car Wash w/Daddy
Win-Win Situation

He looks so cute in his little undies, can't believe you don't have to deal with diapers anymore (or at least til Scarlett arrives! :)) Yay!!!!
I found your blog through a Google search on "Potty Boot Camp"...just wanted to congratulate your family on having a potty trained child! I love to hear success stories of any kind - with any method used.
I enjoyed your light-hearted post, it made me smile!
Warmly,
