Preface: Sorry for all this potty talk, it's a big deal around our house right now!
January 30, 2008
This week I've cracked down on the potty training. It's been going well, but geez, it's exhausting! On Monday we went to Walmart to get his "big boy underwear." I wanted to make a big deal out of it so Ryan would be excited. Of course he wanted Thomas underwear but they didn't have any in his size. I was worried that might be a problem, but we settled on dinosaurs (much cheaper than the character underpants!).
We started yesterday morning. We took his nighttime wet diaper off, said goodbye to it, put on the new underwear and set the timer for 20 minutes (thanks to my sister-in-law's suggestion). When the timer beeped we went in and he went potty. He's still had several accidents but the consistency has worked pretty well so far and I think he's starting to catch on. He's even pooped in the toilet twice! Yeah! Can't wait to only have one in diapers! More scrapbooking money for me! (Just kidding)

I'm not getting much done between taking care of Emery, timer beeps and potty trips, but I'm hoping Ryan will get the pottying down soon.

Wow- I am not looking forward to this stage, but it sounds like you guys are doing well.(Although the extra diaper money does sound appealing!)
By the way- that scrapbook page you did of your letter to Ryan is so sweet! I just love it.
