Day 10!

Well, I'd been trying to figure out a way to potty train Cole and my goal was to get him trained before he turns three. Sometimes the best things are unplanned...we were at my parents' house for a BBQ and the kids were playing with a water toy. So Cole had on his bathing suit with no diaper all day and we kept telling him to let us know if he had to use the toilet. He did GREAT the entire day and so the next day we thought we'd just try again. We put underwear on him and for the second day in a row he had no accidents! On Tuesday my parents came and brought him dinosaur underwear, which inspired him even more. And so now we are on day 10 of underwear! We have had only two accidents - one of them my fault. So really only one. The only complication is that Cole is not yet comfortable pooping on the toilet so he's been a little constipated (which is VERY unusual for my regular boy). We have been feeding him raisins and juice - but he says "I have to poop" and so we rush to the toilet and he sits down and then he says "aw...the toilet made my poop nervous." Don't ask me where he got that from! I can't count how many times a day we rush to the bathroom to try and poop...but at least he's trying! Dave bought him his own potty that should be arriving in the mail soon so we'll see if that helps the poop be less nervous :-)
