Jonah has been doing awesome with potty training and has totally exceeded my expectations. Who thought Jonah would do so well? He has been telling me every time he needs to go, and we run into the bathroom and he goes. He usually uses his little potty on the floor, but he has used the big potty with an insert too. He can almost get his underwear up and down by himself, and he just seems to act like he's got this thing down.
It was a little scary sending him to school today because I had no idea how things would go. He wore a Pull-up the whole time, and was wet a few times. His teacher and I have great communication, so I think soon he'll be doing the same thing at school. Maybe by next week, he'll be wearing a Pull-up for the bus rides only and wearing undies at school.
When he got home today, he told me he needed to go poopy (which is what he says for pee too), and we rushed into the bathroom. He didn't go pee, but said he wasn't done when I asked him, so I figured #2 was finally coming. He did go #2 in the potty and I was so excited! I made a big deal of it and gave him tons of praise! I had told him if/when he went poop in the toilet he could go to the store and get a Thomas the Train toy. So we went tonight and got him one. I got a Percy train too just in case I need to bribe him again, but I think we are past the first hurdle and he'll do fine with #2 now. Yeah!
The only complications so far are school (which we are working on,) and he prefers the little potty to the big one with the insert. My goal is to get him using only the big one by next week. I plan to hide it and tell him he has to use the big potty now. That worked with telling him there were no more diapers.
Overall, he is doing great though. We even went out tonight to the store and did a few errands and he was fine. We did bring the potty in the back in case he had to go. He did have to go on the way home, so we stopped and let him go back and pee, then dumped it on a bush! Oh well, he did have a drink before we left. I think he'll keep doing great and I have high hopes for the rest of the week!

Awesone!!! I'm glad that things are going smoothly. Good job, Jonah!
Yeah! I'm thrilled that it's gone so smoothly for you guys. Isn't it sad how excited we all get over kids going to the bathroom.
Hey! I'm glad you found our blog! Now I can peek in on you guys too! Good luck with the potty training!
Connie you are so lucky! I have been trying with Rylee for the past week and I feel ready to pull my hair out. For some reason boys just get it, where as girls take their time :( Congratulations to Jonah!
Great job, I hope Marce isn't too bad...when I start. That's awesome you took the little potty on errands and I had no clue Jonah liked Thomas the Train.
That is awesome he is doing so well! Yeah for Jonah! Sounds like he will be fully potty trained in no time. Congrats! Ü
Nice... you probably killed that bush!
