Potty Training

We're currently on day 3 of potty training in the Morgan household. I hadn't planned on tackling this this week, but sure enough, the opportunity arose and we had no choice but to jump on board. We've been absolutely BLOWN away by the success we've had! We knew that Eli had been showing all of the signs that he was ready for quite some time, but we had just been dreading it terribly! We knew that this summer would be the perfect time to do it, so here we are. The whole process has been relatively stress free, other than the typical first day bumps in the road.
Day 1 started off rough, but by the afternoon he had really caught on. We were in it for the long haul and not turning back!
Day 2 seemed like a walk in the park! He was cheerful all day, and more than cooperative. He started telling us everytime he had to go, and/or just going by himself. He really prefers to go on his own terms, and does better if we just let him be. He only had 1 accident all day!
Day 3 started out rough, but only because he really just wanted to be left alone to handle things himself, and was probably getting a little stir crazy from being cooped up in the house for several days straight. He went ALL DAY without an accident! We decided to venture out of the house, and meet some friends for dinner. We weren't sure what to expect. We put a pull-up on, and had his potty in the back of the car just in case. We kept reminding him to 'stay dry' and let us know if he had to go. Much to our surprise, he stayed dry! That was a huge relief. Good to know we'll be able to leave the house again :)

I'm just praying that the worst is over, and that he doesn't get lazy or bored with this! This is something I've been dreading for the last 2 years. I've heard so many horror stories, and went into it expecting the worst. Here's to hoping our good luck continues!

Thought I would give a little update now that we are almost one week into this. Things are still going great, much to our surprise! Each day it gets even easier, and I stress less about the possibility of accidents, etc. We even conquered our first public restroom potty at Moe's yesterday! He's not having accidents, and as of yesterday, he's now starting to stay dry during naptime and nighttime. Something that I didn't expect to come so soon. We're still doing diapers during those times, but will make the change to pull ups soon if he continues with this trend. We're just so proud of our little guy, and SO very thankful that he took it easy on us in this department.
