Potty Training!

Shortly after Caedmon turned 3, we decided it was time to try potty training. Not a very fun process, but Caedmon is doing very well and we're finally saving money on diapers!

Potty Training - A Process

October 13th. That is the day Caedmon went to the bathroom in the toilet for the first time! We've had his training potty in the bathroom for months now, but ever since he turned 2, Corey keeps saying it's time to get down to business. I've been more of the mind set that when he's ready, then we'll go for it, and until then, I'm not going to push it.

He hasn't been real enthusiastic about it. We ask him fairly often if he wants to use the bathroom on the big toilet, but he usually replies "no." And I don't push it. This particular day, he wanted to. We sat and we sat and we sat. And when I asked him if he was done, he replied, "no" and so Corey got him a book and I used his training potty as a chair and fed Carys as we continued to wait. And what do you know, in the midst of all this sitting and waiting I suddenly here tinkling! We praised him loudly and enthusiastically and even went to the Moka for a treat!

He hasn't done anything since.:/

Only the Beginning...

First time on the toilet; he didn't do anything, but he had said "poop" and when I asked if he wanted to sit on the potty he said yes...I'm in no hurry; we'll go at his pace.
As I was typing this, he told me "poop" and now I smell something, but I'm also in the middle of nursing Carys, so this could be a difficult time to get serious about it!
