This weekend we have been potty training! Wow, what a lot of work! Our little man is doing absolutely great, but here is an analogy that I think is true:
Potty training is a lot like giving birth: It is hard, it is a lot of work, but it is absolutely necessary to get the result you desire!
In all honesty, Luke is doing much better than I anticipated. He got through his first day with only one minor pee accident. Today, day 2, has been a little more challenging because I think the novelty has worn off. We have decided to keep him in diapers at nighttime only, and just until he wakes up dry consistently. Since he has never woken up dry in his life, I didn't think it was fair to expect him to all of a sudden and didn't want to discourage him. He is hanging in there and we are keeping a positive attitude around here! I don't want him to sense my frustrations with any of this and have setbacks.
Part of me is sad that my baby boy is growing up. It was hard for me to watch him go through some stress of having to learn a new skill and grow up. He is very excited about going on the potty in general. He was thrilled to talk to Nate, Sammy, and Andrew on the phone about potty training and make all the phone calls for his first poo! He aslo LOVES his big boy underpants. (My dad thinks we shouldn't call it underpants, but underwear...sorry Dad!) He got to pick them out at the store and chose Thomas and Cars underwear. No surprises there.
We'll keep ya'll posted of Luke's progress. We're very proud of him so far, and I'm sure that won't ever change! He is our super star.
