We did it! We pulled the trigger over Memorial Day weekend and went full steam ahead on potty training with Charlie. I knew it wasn't going to go as easily as it did with Kendall - She was barely 2 and had it dialed in after two days of the three day training program. Even though it was going to be a lot of work, not just on Charlie, and we'd miss out on lots of sunny weekend fun, we just felt it was time. I stocked the bathroom with books, flash cards and M&M's, armed my alarm for every 20 minutes and gave all Charlie's left over diapers to Kendall to use for her baby dolls.
Day 1 was rough and I wanted to throw in the towel (but I didn't have any left to throw since I had used them all to clean up accidents) but after Charlie's nap the tides turned and he seemed to be getting the hang of it. Day 2 appeared to be going great but once I got him pumped full of fluids we saw more accidents like the beginning of day 1. But, not awful. Day 3 we had only 2 accidents the entire day! Charlie had zero accidents the entire week at daycare (a few at home) and then... we did a road trip. Enter a big back slide the week following. But great news is he's back on track and we haven't even needed pull-ups at nap or bed! HOORAY for being Potty Trained!!! Next up, big boy bed! Maybe... I'm not quiet ready :)
Note the coffee for mom
I got some adorable naked baby butt pictures but I'll save those for his 18th birthday slide show
