Potty Training Update

WARNING!!!

Bathroom talk to follow. If you are not interested in hearing about JJ's bowl movements, you will need to wait until my next post.

Well JJ has come a long way in a few short weeks. He has been very successful wearing Pull-Ups the last two weeks. He is even staying dry at night, something I certainly did not expect. A few short weeks ago he wasn't willing to poop in the potty, so wearing underwear full time was out of the question. Now he is super excited to do #2 in the potty so he can hear the "plop" sound as it hits the water :) I think part of his fascination with it is seeing what it looks like and making some identifications based on the size/shape of things: spaceship poop, dinosaur poop, fish poop to name a few!

And by the way, he started out using the little potty seat but has quickly graduated to the big potty - THANK YOU GOD!

So the next step is wearing underwear during the day which will begin tomorrow. I think he will do fine. He tells us when he needs to go with plenty of time to get where we need to be. He is even using public restrooms with no problem (I'm the only one that seems to have an issue with public restrooms!)

I had been a little (okay, more than a little) concerned this summer about the whole potty training thing because his preschool has a 100% potty trained policy for JJ's class, which begins in one week. So his timing couldn't be better. This momma is breathing a sigh of relief - when I'm not doing the potty dance with JJ!
