Potty Training Success

Potty training is my least favorite thing to get accomplished. The older two were 3( even a little after) before they trained, Riley probally b/c he was my first and I didn't really push the issue till later and Carter was just stubborn! So I was pleasantly suprised that Levi showed an interest in it so young, ( maybe the others did to I just didn't tune in to the clues they were giving me) and I think its safe to say that after only a month he is pretty much potty trained except for naps and bedtime( which he has been dry alot after those too. Once I even forgot a diaper during the night and he was dry in the morning!) He just turned 2 a few weeks ago! I usually let him be naked in the house which makes it easier than taking the pants and diaper of constantly and when we go out he wore a pull up, but now he even asks to go when we are out and about. He also thinks its fun to go outside.We skipped the small potty altogether and went right to the big potty, no potty ring/seat either and he did fine with it. When he went #1 he got a small candy( remember sixlets candy? just little balls of coated chocolate? he got one of those) and if he went #2 he got a bigger candy. This task was a little harder, he seemed afraid of the process at first but now I think he is good. So glad to be done potty training my children( hopefully he does not regress) and most important, I don't have to buy another pack of diapers again( except for pull-ups but they last alot longer, so less money spent!)


such a big boy!
