Potty Training.

Its exhausting, disgusting, funny and rewarding! 

I tried to potty train Hayden before William was born but it did NOT work. He was not interested and just not ready for it. So I waited. And a few weeks ago I gave it another try, and its going alot better. Yes, I am aware that he is almost three, and some kids are trained by the time they are two. But honestly every kid is different and I waited till he was ready, instead of forcing him and traumatizing him! Good for the mothers that have their children potty trained by the time they are two! 

Instead of screaming and fighting, he now tells me when he has to pee. And if he has a accident (as annoying it is), its okay and not the end of the world. We have two charts on the wall in the bathroom. One says "I went pee", and the other says "I went poop". And every time he goes pee he gets a sticker, and when he goes poop he also gets a sticker. Once he has thirty stickers on one chart, he gets a toy! He has only gone poop once on the toilet ( the laundry never ends). But he has gone pee multiple times, and has already gotten one toy.  We will stop this system, once he gets it more down pact. He loves it.  I am very proud of him. Its always a dance party in our house when he goes pee on the toilet, tons of fun! 


The only picture I got with his GITCH, you should hear him say it SO FUNNY! I just threw his paper airplane, that's why his arm is blurry and weird.
