Oh What Fun!


So this week I decided it was time to potty train Ethan. Little did I know how easy it would be! Liv was so hard to even get to sit on the potty let alone allow pee to come out. She actually got a UTI from this. Anyway, I put "big boy choo choo panties" on and we sat in the bathroom for about 20 minutes. I decided I had better check on Liv so I went out on the deck and he followed me. Then the next thing I know he goes running in the bathroom and went pee in his potty by himself! The next time he had to go, he went running in the bathroom and went pee by himself. He did, however, forget to pull his underwear down. Oh well, the idea was right! The next time he decided he wanted to pee in the big potty. We had bought one of the seats you can put on the big potty. I had a feeling these weren't REALLY made for boys even though they say they are. He actually DID go pee, but none of it went in the toilet. These seats are dumb. There is not a guard tall enough, if you know what I mean. This was all yesterday. So today he is 3 for 3! He had one poo attempt but he said it was "stuck". When his pee started coming out, he said "it's working mom it's working"! I laughed so hard! Everyone always told me how hard boys were to potty train, but I am actually enjoying it!

It's so not fair! My experience was horrible. All 5 hours of it. When I decide to try again, you're helping. That's all there is to it! Love you!
