Potty Champ!

mmmmmm!

All smiles!

We are so proud of Davis! Said good bye to diapers last Monday and went for it! We've done a day or two here or there over the past 6 months, but this was going to be the real-potty-training-deal...M & Ms, LOTS of praise, and the "potty dance"(similar to Davis' nudie dance). 

Monday was difficult and left all of us in tears..."No No No mommy! I don't want underwear! Only my shorts!" is what he kept screaming before nap time. Finally, I just threw on his shorts to keep things at peace. Whatever! Davis isn't too keen on starting new things that he doesn't fully understand or feel completely competent in.

But as the week went on, he got better and better and grew to love his Lightning Mcqueen underwear. And now he is a potty champ!!! In 1 week!!! Dropped the "little potty" this week, and now he climbs up on his stool and plops himself down on the "big potty" all by himself. We'll try the standing up thing soon...I foresee lots of tee-tee cleaning up in my future.  I won't lie. I was definitely a little stressed about the whole potty training thing, but Davis did GREAT and exceeded my expectations.

Shopping potty training fun from last week :) ...ok Davis do you need to go potty. Okay lets go. Tote the buggy over to the restroom. Put Haley on one hip(buggy won't fit into restroom). Go into tiny stall, squat and strip Davis down with other hand. Crocs falling off...oh yuck..lets not stand on the floor. Crocs back on. On potty. "I can't". Ok good try. Crocs off so we can get clothes back on. Clothes on. Crocs on. Get out of deep squat with Haley on hip. Haley back in buggy. Deep breath. Done and no tee-tee to show for it. Oh well.

***Davis did have his 1st public potty success at Chick-fil-A last week, and I definitey did the "potty dance".

SO PROUD OF YOU DAVIS!!! Way to go Potty Champ!
