adventures in potty training...

ok, so i found that i keep pulling out tylers baby book and i keep forgetting to document things. So i am documenting here.

so this past monday january 10th i decided that all the books i had read up to this point on potty training had never met my child.
So...i decided that i would "bootcamp" him into peeing ont he potty.

so i woke up monday morning and i started setting a timer and put my baby in big boy underwares and i made him try to go every 20 minutes...once i figured out htat he went about ever 14 minutes i changed my timer. every pair of underwares he wore got wet along with every pair of socks i put on him, and every pair of pants and shirts. mind you this is the freaking dead of winter.

so then tuesday morning he was in charge in his mind, but i still was setting the timer and he was still forced to go on the potty every time the bell went off.
he took a nap and while he napped i attempted to wash all of his underwares and i was unsucessful so i put him in a pullup and continued with our 14 minutes situation and he did it! that pullup was dry all the rest of the day!

day three he started in a pull up and stayed dry all day...went ot gramas house and did the same...and then he was pee potty tranied.

still working on the infamous number 2...

thanks for listening!
