Going cold turkey!

Today marks day two of super successful potty training for my little guy! Yes we went cold turkey and no he did not ask to wear underwear. Hubby and I put underwear on him early Saturday morning and have not used one since! He does have an accident as he is waking up from a nap and upon waking up in the morning. It's a work in progress. We do ask him every 15 minutes if he needs to go. He is really good about letting us know that he needs to go #1 and #2 (on a side note who came up with saying #1 and #2??? Random but just a thought). We have managed one car ride yesterday and one car ride today with no accidents. Went to pick up meals and came right back. We are so proud of him. I know I wish that he got a hang of this earlier but hey we will take it. Originally I said he would be potty trained over the summer but he fought us every moment. As the months rolled by and we kept changing stinky diapers we said enough is enough and during the holiday break he will be potty trained. He is doing fantastic! 

Here are some things we are doing:

1. Praise him every time!! 

2. Give a little treat- a sticker or jelly bean for each successful "potty time"

3. Gentle reminders every 15 minutes some do it every 10 minutes but he is holding his bladder well recently. 

4. Encourage with cool underwear! Little

Boys love super hero underwear. I snagged a few packs on sale at Target. 

5. Give a little extra treat for going #2 on the toilet. 

6. Practice going on a full size toilet too. This is important because you won't be carrying a toddler toilet everywhere you go. 

7. Purchase a fold up seat to use while you are out and about. I purchased this one. 

  

Sometimes going cold turkey has it's advantages! I'm sure I will have more potty tips!!
