All Aboard the Potty Train!


There he is reading his new potty book. We left with it on the hood of our car & saw it fly away in the distance as we were almost on 290...lol

Sorry that this potty picture is a little TMI....and a little weird...and a little creepy, but homeboy wanted to use his potty while we were taking pictures, so I took advantage of it!

We went to Babies R' Us to buy a gift & I decided to use a gift card I have been meaning to use for a long time. I decided to buy something practical that we'd need to buy in the future anyway so I got a training potty. We had no intentions of using it right away...I just wanted to get rid of the gift card! Well, Garrett was very interested in it & right away we could tell he wanted to use it so we let him. He was sooo excited & proud. We gave him an M&M. He LOVED that. So he went again & again & again. As soon as I saw that he was balls to the wall about this, I ran out to buy some underwear & Pull-Ups! To make a long story short, almost 48 hours later, he has had only one accident, is wearing big boy undies at home & Pull-Ups when we go out & at night. So unexpected! I can't believe how well it's going! He has stayed dry in his Pull-Up, even at night. I don't even know how those things work. Does the pee run right out of them like a swim diaper? Anway, he freaking loves M&Ms & I think he'd clean the house for them in exchange for a handful! This will be interesting to see if our good luck keeps up. I think it may get hairy when I leave for work on Monday. What do I do, send him to school in a Pull-Up with extra clothes? I am new at this & have no training!

He puts his Buzz, Woody & Rex out to watch him pee. I saw him put Rex on the potty & wipe his butt after. Whatever works I guess!


He is sooooo excited & proud of himself. Every time he pees he jumps up & down, claps, says Hip Hip Hooray & asks for his M&M :)

WOW ... soo proud of Garrett! Don't be disappointed with a few set-backs early on. It sounds like he is well on his way and will be done with diapers very soon. Time for baby #2 now :)

Cute, cute, cute pics! I wish I could take pictures like you! Great job on the potty business! I would send him to school in underwear...and several extras for the day. You don't want him to realize what he can do in those pull-ups! And, they do hold stuff like diapers, just put on differently and more $$$.

wow that's amazing! Garrett needs to start teaching his buddy what to do. Hopefully by next year we'll be where he's at!
