Day 3 Potty Training

According to the book "3 day potty training" this was the final day. Well Braydon is doing great with the potty training. He still wears a pull  up at nap time and night time. Which is alright because most kids aren't fully potty trained at sleep time at this age. We are still working on the pooping in the potty. Whenever he poops in his pants we ask him what he is supposed to do when he needs to poop. He repeats that he is to use the potty but keeps pooping in his pants. Hopefully he will get this step down soon because cleaning up poop in underwear is just gross!

Day 2 of potty training

It's amazing what one full day of potty training and being consistent can do. When Braydon got up this morning I put big boy underpants on him and took him to the potty.We went to the potty every half hor and he did excellent. Only a few accidents during the day and those were just poopy diapers. Now I need to get him comfortable with doing that in the toilet!

Giveaway

So I belong to several sites online that offer giveaways. While I normally do not enter because I never believe I'll win anything, I've changed my mind. As most of you know I'm really into photography and love Nikon products. So when I came across a giveaway for a new camera I jumped. In order to gain more entries I was asked to post about it to my blog. So that is the reason for this post. And now back to really scheduled blogs!

Day 1 Potty Training

 

Today we really started potty training Braydon. We had tried before and took all the steps, but he just didn't want to do it, he fought us tooth and nail. But after hearing about the 3 day potty training method I decided to really try hard and not give in. It was about time no more excuses. If we want to get him into preschool in the fall then he needs to be out of diapers and using the toilet. 

When Braydon is awake we keep him in underwear, but when he goes down for naps or bed time it's back to the diaper. We want to make sure he stays dry for most of the day and tackle the naps and night time later. 

He did good most of the day he sat on the toilet every thirty minutes, had four accidents and six successes. The major accident was when he pooped in his underpants! Overall I think he did good. The one thing I noticed was that when the timer went off and he refused to sit on the toilet, that's when we had a problem. Hopefully each day we continue it will get better!

Sprinkler toy fun

Braydon loves summer. He loves to be outside and playing. Last summer he had a water table that he loved to play with. We choose to not move with it and give it to our friend who's son absolutely loved it. This summer we had a water table in our cart and ready to buy when we spotted this toy. Braydon was given a choice and choose these toy sprinkler. He absolutely loves it and couldn't wait to play with it. We have only had this toy since Saturday and he has played with it every day. So glad we bought it and he enjoys it!

Future posts

I know I have been horrible about updating this blog since we have moved back to the states. I just got stuck in a rut and didn't know if I should continue this blog or not. It seems like nobody really ever reads it anymore, and also like all my photos I'm uploading are to facebook and not on here. For now I'll keep updating this blog. I'll try to be better at it but can't guarantee.
