Really Potty Training

So, I figured there was no time like the present.  Summer is here and he will be going back to school in the fall.  It would be so nice to not have to take pull ups and even better, to only have 1 child in diapers. Oh, that would be so nice! 

Yesterday was the first full day we had just underwear on.  He did awesome!  Brady is one of the those, do it all the way or nothing children.  Take swimming; You take his swim top off and he actually swims.  Well, he has to or he will drown.  The first time we did it I was scared to death.  However, he was trying to swim in the pool with his face in the water like daddy.  He was having a hard time because his top allows him to float.  We took it off and he bobbed up and down in the water like a little fish.  He doesn't have the exact concept but he is learning.

So, what the heck.  Let's just do it all the way with potty training.  I, personally, think that is how you have to do it anyway.  He refuses to go to the bathroom if he has a diaper on.  He will pee and poop in the diaper all day.  But, put a pair of underwear on him and he will pee...maybe in the yard, maybe on the deck...lol...but he will do it.

Yesterday was pretty much a success.  He peed most of the day. I kept him in underwear for church (what was I thinking!?) and he went potty 3 times!  I kept him in them during nap - with slight reservation - but he made it through!  He pooped 2 times also!  WOW!  Today, well there has to be a few accidents.  He has already peed once in them only after having the underwear on for 20 minutes.  But, I will keep trudging on and hope that we do not have any more poop stories to add to our collection.
