Today was the official start of potty training. Other than the diapers in the diaper bag we no longer have any diapers in the house. He is only allowed to wear underwear during the day and pull ups during his naps and night time. Every time he goes potty he gets a sticker and on the 10th sticker he gets a prize from the treasure chest. The treasure chest is just some really cheep toys we bought at the dollar store. He doesn't care about the stickers but it is a good way to keep track of how many times he went on the toilet.
Today we had a few accidents, which is to be expected. For the most part when ever I told him he needed to try to go potty he would. All through out the day I told him if he needs to go potty just take off his underwear and go on his portable potty chair that is down stairs. Of course he never would but I thought I would keep telling him this. Well tonight I was putting somethings up stairs and I heard the toilet lid fly up. I peeked down stairs and there he was sitting on his chair. He stood up and very happily said he went potty. Of course I made a HUGE deal out of this. I was so proud that he went on his own without me asking him if he needed to.
I am looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.
