Potty Training

We have been loosely potty training Leo over the past couple of months.  By that I mean we would let him hang out in his underwear once in a while.  He would, without fail, just pee his pants.  Honestly, we were just lazy and dreading the thought of having to potty train a boy (if you can remember, Gwen was potty trained in 1.5 days).

We would go pick him up at daycare and they would constantly tell us how great he was doing with potty training.  They wanted us to do the "boot camp" like we did with Gwen.  Of course between our traveling and social lives, there just wasn't a weekend to do it.  Well we finally did it and he did AMAZING!!  He was no Gwen by any means, but he's been doing great.

A week after the boot camp he is peeing 85% on the potty.  He only has a few accidents and even tells us when he has to go (he used to just yell "I'M PEEING!!").  The issue we have is with pooping.  He poops his pants without question.  We are going through underwear at warp speeds.  Sometimes he'll ask to put on a diaper to poop, sometimes he'll tell us he has to and go on the potty, and sometimes he just poops his pants.  So gross!!

We kind of peer pressured him into doing it.  We would sit around the dinner table talking about how he's such a baby for wearing diapers.  We would talk about how awesome we all were that we got to wear underwear and make him feel left out.  Thinking back, I am glad he'll never remember as I can imagine the therapy session now.  It worked though.  Last night he didn't even want to put on a diaper for bed, so we'll get him "special sleeping underwear"......i.e. Night Time Pull Ups!

So proud of my little man!!
