Ringing in the New Year with Potty Training...

Well so far 2011 has been a good year. Kendall took some much needed time off work and it was so nice having him around for 2 whole weeks over the Christmas holiday. We got a lot done around the house while he was home. The house needed a major cleaning and Kendall did a lot of it. Today is his first day back and I know he was not looking forward to getting up early! My biggest goal for the new year was to potty train Daniel. He was long overdue for it! I wanted to do it while Kendall was home for the extra help with the other kids. We started on a Friday and after day two and the 10+ pair of dirty underware I was ready to give up! This was after the 5th or 6th pair of poopy underware! Ugh, it was so gross! But I had promised myself that I would be strong and NOT go back to diapers so we just kept going with it. On Monday (Day 4) he went the whole day without a single accident! He is doing so great and doesn't even need a reminder any more! Happy day, it's done!! The only problem is keeping him in underware! The other day the FedEx man came to deliver a box to us, as I was signing for the box he was giving me a strange look. When I closed the door and look behind me I see Daniel doing a little "boogy dance" in nothing but his little t-shirt. So embarrassing, I wish I could call that man back and explain that we are potty training! So don't be shocked if you come to visit and find Daniel in the nude, you've been warned! It seems Daniel has aged a bit since he is out of diapers! I think he likes being a "big boy" now and likes the new found freedom. I enjoy not having to change his diapers! So now we are down to one in diapers. Happy Day!!
