So we have "officaly" started to work on potty training...i am going to update this blog every day with our good days and with our bad....this is day one..Silas seems to really like wearing his undies..:)

Day 1-June 19th 2008...He did GREAT today he stayed dry all day...untill he went outside and he peed twice, and he does not care if he is wet so i have to keep checking on him to see if he is still dry..lol...and he is not saying he has to go...i am just taking him about every hour to hour and a half..and he seems excited! at nap obviously he wears a diaper t he pooped in his diaper...but thats ok, we are just starting...:)


Day 2 June 20th 2008....Woke up dry, he peed a HUGE pee on the potty....9:13 am asked him if he had to go he ACTUALLY said YES!!!! so i took him but he did not go, BUT he got up on the stool to wash his hands and started peeing....so he DID have to go and he RECOGNIZED the feeling of having to go....!! i know it will not happen overnight but this is a HUGE step for him...realizing the feeling of having to go!!! He also seems to NOT enjoy all the prise and excitement like the other kids did...when he does pee on the potty and we get all happy for him he gets MAD..and i think embarrassed or somehting..possibly overstimulated...?.so we give high fives and a piece of candy..lol..he is ok with that..:)



we have a whole new habbit..lol. ..he has ALWAYS loved sticking his
hand down the front of his diaper, or tucking his blanket in
there..well now that he has been wearing undies, he has very EASY
access and is CONSTANTLY playing with himself...should i try to curb
this behavior now...or ignore it because we are just starting the
potty training and i dont want to frustrate him to the point where he
rejects undies ya know...lol.. i think that is one of the reasons he
LOVES wearing them ..lol...i have asked him EVERY morning for almost a
year if he wanted to wear undies today, he woudl ALWAYS say NO...but
yesterday he said YES...lol..and now he REFUSES the diaper, even at
nap time..so we had to go get cool pull ups for nap time..lol He had a few accidents today...BUT he had some victories as well...so it was a GOOD day!!

 

Day 3 June 21 2008<br>Silas woke up this morning and peed on the potty, and then we to took the kids to a kids fishing tournament so we put him in pull ups..so he did not haev much of a opportunity to go this afternoon..But after nap time he peed and POOPED in the potty for the FIRST TIME EVER!!...YEAH SILAS!!!!!Now we are back in undies for the rest of the night..:)..so wee shall see...:)he seems to not empty his bladder each time he goes except for when he wakes up in the morning and after nap..he lets out little squirts of pee and he lets squirts out in his undies but doesn't soak them

 

 Day 4 June 22 2008....WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!! I was worried because we have church on Sundays and its alwyas a crazy day..Silas peed after he woke up this morning them we put on a pull up and got dressed and headed for church.i took silas potty when we got to church and he had peed in the pull up BUT he peed and POOPED in the potty when i took him!!!! and then i took him between sunday school and church and he peed again!!!! then i took him after church was over and he peed again!!!! and then we stopped to go out to eat on the way home and i took him potty and he peed AGAIN, and then i took him once more before we left to come home and he peed YET AGAIN!!!! so he was dry all day except for the accident he had in the car on the way to church!!!!im SOOOOOOO proud of him!!!!!

 

Day 5 June 23 2008....Silas did ok today, he did poop on the potty but had  allot of pee accidents....ooo and he ALMOST made it all the way to church..:).....he had just went as we got there...church is about a hour away. and he went right before we left. he would have made it but he wanted to go see his little girlfriend and when he saw he he started laughing and lost it..lol....

Day 6 June 24 2008....Silas has been waking up from naps and night time DRY!!!! YIPPIE!!!!!...and for the first time he was UNCOMFORTABLE in wet undies, Gabe was chasing him around the house and he was laughing so hard he started peeing and he ran with his legs WIDE apart to the bathroom all by HIMSELF...LOL...:)..and he peed outside today..lol..he thought that was the funniest thing ever..lol....

Day 7 June 25th 2008...Silas pooped in his undies today..BUT peed on the potty ALL DAY!!! not one single accident!!!!!!!!

 

Day 8 June 26th 2008....ok i would say silas has got the peeing on the potty part down pretty good....he tells me now which is AMAZING..but when he says he has to go you better run..lol....he is having some trouble with poopin on the potty...but i think he is trying REALLY hard....today at the bus stop he kept saying he had to pee....and he would let out a dribble....he did this like 6 times....and then he pooped in his undies..i think he was trying....because he kept saying he had to go, but all he did was let out one dribble..then 2 minutes later..i pee i pee i pee...he probably felt like he had to do somehting but he wasn't sure what it was.....lol. so we will have to work on number 2...LOL.. i am so proud of him!!!!!
