Up until last week, my baby boy had no interest in potty training. Well he did a while ago and then it all went away. Once in a while, he would tell me he had to go to the potty but only after he had done his business in his pull-ups. Well then I was invited to attend an open house for an enriched preschool program at his daycare in which of course, he would have to be potty trained. I spent a good hour talking to the teachers at the open house and the Director about ways to get him interested because I was determined to get him in this class. Now, the class starts in September and its April but hey better start early. So I decided that in the beginning of the week, he would go to school without pull-ups, just undies. Day 1...six accidents, Day 2....3 accidents, Day 3....7 accidents...etc....Need I go on? I spent every day of the week washing clothes and taking it back to daycare. But by Day 4 I noticed that he no longer needed to go to the potty every half hour. Progress!!!!!!!!!!!! This past weekend was just like the last week...a few accidents but he was getting better and telling me he had to go before he went. And then there was yesterday!
After washing more clothes this weekend, I took what seemed to be hundreds of pants, underwears, socks, and shoes to school in the morning for the inevitable accidents. Well, by the time I parked in front of the school, I was dreading seeing the bag of dirty clothes. I got to the classroom and the kids were not there. They were outside. I went straight to his cubby looking for the bag and NO BAG. I read his progress report of the day and NO "PEED IN PANTS" COMMENTS. I just thought that they had not written it down so I head outside to pick him up. And there he was....my baby still had the clothes I dropped him off on. I could not believe it. I had tears in my eyes. Of course we got home and he had two accidents but hey...its definitely 80% better from only a week ago!
