Potty Update

This is the 4th week of potty training. Here's how it's been going.

Week 1: Went twice in the first day, then went in his underwear before saying "I go pee pee." In other words, he would say "I go pee pee" and that meant "I WENT pee pee." He didn't seem to understand that you say it, then run to the bathroom. This continued on through the first week until the Friday of Week 2. I realized that the first day was some beginner's luck.

Week 3: Matthew would usually go one time successfully on the days we were home. I have been deliberate about staying home just to potty train. But I went out several days of that week. At least Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Leaving the house is disruptive to the process, because he wears Pull-Ups, and he treats them like he treats diapers. He just goes in them and doesn't use the potty at all.

Week 4 (now): Matthew said "I go potty Mama!" and went successfully 3 times yesterday. Today, Matthew went poo poo!! I think it surprised him, and he immediately wanted off the potty. He was like "ewww!" But I made a big deal out of it and we went to go see Dada in his office and he made a big deal out of it, too. Matthew seemed overall pleased, but I'm not sure if it was a fluke or not. I bought some Little Debbie treats for if he does it again.

Is this "TMI"?! Well, at least I don't have pictures! :-)
