Potty Training

Well i decided while my family is away in Hawaii and i would have nothing to do, i would potty train Ryland. Let me say it is going much better than i anticipated. I have had people tell me it takes 3 days of going nowhere to really get him going. So i started Wednesday after school. I have heard they need to watch Elmo's Potty time video and luckily he has been watching it since Christmas. Then my sister found these cool potty watches. they have timers every 30, 60, or 90 minutes that play music and light up when the timer goes off. Well potty watches arrived last Monday. Ryland was so excited to wear it, (i ordered blue for Ryland and pink for Madisen) So we put the blue one on, hiding the pink one because he loves pink, and then somehow we did not hide the pink one hard enough because he comes running in with the pink one... I wear the pink one!!!! he repeated and repeated. i go along to tell him that it is Madisen's and he has to wear the blue one. After about 20 min. of arguing he finally wanted the blue one. Then it was time for the timer to go off...... we waited and waited and nothing happened. the blue watch is broken , completely broken will not even turn on anymore. So we decided to let him wear the pink one and you can all guess what happened..... I want the blue one , the pink one is Madisen's!!! so needless to say he hates the potty watch and wants nothing to do with it!!!! So anyways. Wednesday it began. No potty watch used. I had a friend tell me that they need to go naked , no undies, pull ups or pants on. i was a little worried thinking there was going to be pee everywhere. Well needless to say we have only had 3 accidents. those accidents happened all when he had undies or shorts on. i figured out why they have to be naked, having pants or undies on gives them the feeling of having a diaper on and they just go. we have a a naked boy running around now for 3 days and everyone is grossed out. but hey it is working. today i decided that he has to learn at some point to go potty and not be naked all the time. so today is undies day at our house.so far so good, we will see what the day brings!!! i will let you know next week how the weekend went!!
