Isaac is potty trained! We did the training (see this post) yesterday and he really did a very good job. All said and done, the training took about 5 hours with about a 45 minute break for lunch. We’re certainly not accident-free yet as we’re here on day 2, but after the training was finished yesterday he had 2 wet accidents, and then today he had no wet accidents and 1 dirty accident. So we’re making good progress, and he does decide by himself that he needs to go to the bathroom and runs in and goes all on his own with no help or prompting from anyone. It is wonderful – my only job for the next week or so is to ask him if his underwear is clean and dry several times a day and then making sure he cleans up his messes and practices when he has an accident. After that we’re home free. Isaac is very proud when he keeps his underwear clean and dry.
As a bit of humor to add to this wonderful event, Isaac and Daddy peed together yesterday, and after they came back Isaac told me that he and Daddy both peed in the potty together. And he said "But Daddy’s pee-pee thing is bigger, huh!" To which Mommy and Daddy both stifled our laughter and said that yes, Daddy’s was bigger but that when Isaac grows up to be big like Daddy then his "pee-pee thing" will be big like Daddy’s. That made Isaac pretty happy. 🙂
