Accidentally...

So today, I accidentally....... started Potty Training the boys.  Oops!

Accidentally you ask?

We have little potties.  They sit on them on occasion.  Hayden goes on occasion.  Once this week he even pushed so hard to try to pee he pooped.  They watch Livi all the time.  Bla, bla, bla.  Today Logan wanted to go pee in the potty.  After sitting there for 5 minutes & straining so hard I though he would give himself a hernia.... he peed in the potty for the first time!!  After naps, he wanted to go again.  So him & Hayden both did.  And I rewarded them with fruit snacks.  5 minutes later... they went again & wanted MORE fruit snacks.  I instead grabbed a few jelly beans & went about my business.  5 minutes later.... you get the drift.  More potties full of 3 forced drops of pee & more requests for jelly beans.

And so folks, today I ran with it.  Not sure they'll sleep tonight with those bellies full of sugar.  They peed about every 10 minutes from 3pm until bed.  Hayden had one accident on the kitchen floor before supper at 6:30.  And then wanted a diaper.  Logan had one accident on the kitchen chair & was DEVASTATED!  Oh he cried.  He was heartbroken.  And he had one "caught it mid way & ran to the potty accident."  Logan who I thought was my absolutely clueless-would be in diapers until he was 5- kid.  Was a potty rock star today!  He appears to really have it figured out more so than Hayden after just today. 

I knew they were close to ready.  And it honestly is/was our July agenda.  When Jeff is done with school, we hopefully have our house sold & are moved, & our summer vacation is done.  But hell.... we'll run with this & see where she goes.  Not pushing it, just letting them do their thang a little bit.  We even have a tupperware container in the bathroom full of jelly beans to prove it!

I think if I was home all weekend, we could have a good handle on it by Monday.  But I work tomorrow & we have a house showing.  Then March of Dimes walk Sunday morning & an open house at our house in the afternoon.  So I think we'll be starting from scratch on Monday.  See if they remember?  Then I'm off until Thursday I guess.... so we'll see if this goes anywhere??

They like to watch each other go.  "See pee in there!"  "Pee has bubbles in the potty!"  Livi even told Jeff this week "Hayden & Logan have a pee-pee like a Teacher.  Livi has a pee-pee like a Nurse."  Apparently Teacher= boy & Nurse= girl.  Oh Liv, Liv, wise beyond your years. 

It was JUST getting SO easy with her.  {Besides her not poop in the potty issues}  She's got the pee thing mastered, even at night.  She always uses the big potty.  But this, this is gonna be a WHOLE other bag of worms.....
