Potty Progress

Saturday: We started training today. It was meant to be more of a potty introduction but Matty really wanted to do it. I reminded him every hour or so and he peed every time. Once he ran to me saying he peed his pants and all he had done was a few drips in his underwear and he finished the rest in the potty. This day was so successful because we werent home for much of the day at all. We went to my parents and to Daves parents and Matty was still good at listening when we told him to try. His big accident was a poop in his underwear but it was pretty easy to clean up.

Sunday: We didnt bother to try today because Matty was really grumpy (too many late nights) and church made it difficult

Monday: Back to underwear today. Matty loves wearing them. He went for two poos in the potty in the morning and then had a pee accident. It was my fault because I wasnt around to remind him to try on the potty. Thats the thing about Monday. So many things to get done. We handled it well and he continued in a new pair of pants and underwear for the rest of the day. One more acccident, this time a poops- three in one day- not expecting that but then the rest was great.


Tuesday: Matty woke up too early for me to catch him right away. So when I was almost awake he told me his diaper was wet. I should make sure I get that sooner but he really shouldnt wake up before 6 and come into our bed. His diaper was still mostly dry and we managed to catch a pee and a poo in the potty before breakfast.

Wednesday: Today was a day away from home and Matty actually stayed in underwear without accidents the whole time. Even in the nursary for bible study... he didnt make a mistake.

Thursday: We had no accidents all day until after dinner. I guess he just couldnt hold it any longer and pooped in his underwear. He hated it and felt so sad but we handled it calmly and he was fine afterward. We also had Amanda over for dinner so he was a little distracted.

Friday: We were out of the house a lot today. We went shopping and Matty even used the potty at the store. No accidents at all. We even went for a drive all the way to Aunty Jo and Uncle Aidans and he remained dry and clean.

Saturday: Matty had a daddy morning outside. This meant he wasnt reminded about the potty and did have a poop accident. Dave said he was destaught but Dave also had lots of work to do so he put Matty in a diaper until I came home and then was back in underwear. He remained clean after that. We were even out all evening and he had no accidents at his cousins birthday party. he slept in underwear for the first time and stayed dry all night.

Sunday: Another busy day but no accidents at all. At church he used the potty and did all his business there and remained clean and dry, even at Julia's birthday party. He slept through the night and stayed dry again. He is very proud of himself.

Monday: Today Matty showed me what Ive been waitting to see. He went to the potty without me asking him, pulled down his pants and peed. Looks like he is starting to understand how this process works. Ill continue to remind him if I notice he hasnt gone in a while but Im encouraged. No accidents at all today and that was even out of the house most of the day with dr. appointments and some shopping.

Tuesday: Matty woke up dry in his underwear again and even stayed dry for half an nhour until i reminded him to pee. He ran to the potty, pulled everything down and did it all by himself. I love it because he always say "oh, I peeing". So cute. He did his poops without me asking him to try and so far we are accident free.
