I wish I could say I have an easy kid who just loves to go to the bathroom.
But I don't!
We are still having probably 1 accident a day. But all in all I think he is doing good.
Every once in a while he forgets and wets himself
Or gets mad at me and wets himself.
When we first started he caught on really quick. Could be because he is almost 3
Or could be because we have done this already before.
First day I fed him tons of juice and followed him everywhere.
He did really good. I think the first day only had 1 accident.
Then after that he pretty much had it.
Although he did not want to poop in the potty.
He was so scared but I just kept following him and when he realized I wasn't going to leave his side,
he went in the potty and has done #2 ever since.
I had a jar of starburst in the bathroom.
He loved that!
He would push out these little baby dribble pee's just so he could get candy.
He was on a Sugar High the first day.
The second day we did gummy bears.
After that we were free from candy, Thank goodness.
I told him if he could get it down and have no accidents I would get him his beloved train table. He added in there "with dinosaurs mom?"
After about 2 weeks he had a day of no accidents so Daniel and I put the table together. Took us 3 1/2 hours. But the look on his face and the things he said when he saw it was all worth it!
We also decided to do no pull ups.
This is something I went back and forth back and forth on doing.
To my surprise he has done really good.
I don't let him drink anything 2 hours before bed
take him pee before bed and then before I go to bed I wake him up and take him again.
And is doing great.
Although we are still having accidents and it is very frustrating.
For the most part he is doing good.
And it's so nice not to have to clean/change his diaper anymore.
And save money on not buying him diapers.

Potty training is by far the most frustrating and tiring aspect of parenting thus far. Stick with it, he sounds like he is doing great!
haha potty training is the worst!!
But train tables are the best!!
Yay Brighton! That's the same train table Luke has! He loves it and plays for hours. So glad he is doing well. I think potty training is one of the worst thing, plus it really never ends. You have to constantly remind them!
I hate potty training too. It has gotten better, but I still hate it.
I'm glad he's catching on. This is something I think I will put off for another half a year (Jax is only 21 months but I heard the longer you wait the better they pick up on it and the quicker it happens). But sounds like Brighton is doing great! Oh and my cousin has that same train set up and loves it! I'll have to keep this in mind for the future ;)
I have just realized I need to start commenting more on your blog because I read every single post. Anyway, so proud of little Bright (and you to0, Stephanie... I can only imagine what a process this is going to be someday). So glad you guys are liking Boston and hopefully Tobe and I will be able to come visit someday!
