Big Boy!

I am happy to announce that Bennett is finally potty trained! We hadn't tried any PT as of yet, so after consulting with many friends and preschool upon us, I decided to give the 3 day PT method a shot for our first go around. Being trapped in our house for 3 days was tough, but we made B throw every single diaper and pull up AWAY and go straight to underwear. Day 1 was a huge success - no accidents, a poop on the potty, and woke up dry from nap and nightime. Day 2 we experienced a few pee accidents but he still woke up dry from nap and nightime. Day 3 was a success with no accidents AND telling me when he had to go (including a poop!). His favorite part is flushing b/c flushing the toilet is so exciting ya know. :)

Today we ventured out of the house for a morning play date and then a lunch date. (Can you tell I was DYING to get out of the house and see friends?) He had no problem going potty in public restrooms (which I was a little worried about). I am so proud of Bennett. I know we'll experience some accidents in the future and no kid is perfect, but he really made this whole PT process so easy on us. I told Justin we are so lucky b/c every major change in his life he has experienced thus far, he has had no problem adjusting. He gave up the bottle cold turkey with no crying/whining, same deal with the pacie, transitioned to his boy boy bed with no issues and now PT. I am one happy Mama!!

Hooray, I'm a big boy!
So proud of himself!
