Potty training…

We’ve started potty training Connor…or I should say he has started potty training himself.  Over the past couple of weeks he has started to show an interest and has been dry when waking up from naps and after going to bed.  So for the last week, he has been wearing “big boy pants” (underwear) around the house.  He has been doing pretty good.  He definitely lets US know that he doesn’t want US telling him when we HE has to go potty.

Mommy or Daddy: “Connor, do you have to go potty?”

Connor: “No.”

Mommy or Daddy:  “Connor, I think you need to go potty.”

Connor:  “Not yet.”

Mommy or Daddy:  “Ok.”

About 5 minutes later…

Connor:  [Pauses for a second and then starts to run towards the bathroom.]  “I have to go potty.”

Mommy or Daddy:  “Great…let’s go.”

He goes and tells us:  “Look, I go potty.”

We give him a lot of praise, kisses, and hugs…then we empty it into the “big potty”.  Connor flushes it and then we wash our hands.

So far, so good.  A couple of accidents but he is really taking to it.

We love you Connor!
