Yesterday I decided that I would bite the bullet and start potty training Hayden today. I had watched the Today show clip about the "Potty Whisperer". I found out that she does pretty much the same thing that Jennifer's mom does to potty train all her kids, and also Brent. So I loaded up with some of Hayden's favorite treats, chips, chocolate, Rice Krispie Treats, Juice, Chocolate milk, etc. I was so tired from not sleeping all night (another story for another time),that we got a late start at all this.
All of a sudden Hayden said, "Mama, I go potty?" So I said "okay, lets go!" Hayden said "No mama, I go myself." I said okay. I was curious as what he would do. So I followed him to the bathroom and he pushed me out of the way and said, "No mama, you stay there. He closed the door almost all the way. I peeked through the crack in the door and Hayden was taking off his diaper and the proceeded to crawl on top of the toilet. He sat down and all of a sudden started pooping! I was amazed! He did it all on his own! I could not believe it! I went and woke Shawn up to come see Hayden. Hayden was so happy and proud. When he saw Shawn he got real excited and said "Daddy, I go poo-poo in the toilet! It was so cute!
So far he has pooped in the toilet 3 times and not peed yet that I know of. Every time i turn around he is in the bathroom on the toilet. Or else cleaning the toilet after he gets off of it. His pull-up have been wet each time, so I am guessing that we are not done yet!
I promised Hayden that after his nap we would go to the store and get him BIG BOY pull ups (the training kind) and Big Boy underwear. He asked if we could get Thomas underwear. (No surprise there! Everything is trains and Thomas in this house!)
So far so good! Hopefully we can keep this up and Potty training will be over until it is Chases turn! YEAH!!!! Less poopie diapers for me to change! What a glorious day! (so far!) lol!
