Potty Training, Take 1

Here we go. We (somewhat) reluctantly have entered the world of potty training. We say 'reluctantly' because neither of us has really been excited about the idea of having to always be within close range of a bathroom, deal with accidents, etc.

Ollie has been SO ready though. Since about last October, his little potty has been out in the bathroom and he frequently sits on it and tries to go. He'd been successful a number of times. He always talks about going potty, tells us when he's going in his diaper, and in the last week, had been taking off his diaper and pants and going to sit on the big potty.

Okay--we get it. You're ready!

So Saturday morning we put underwear on him, and started. He's done amazing!!! We have the occasional little accident, but most of the time he goes in the potty. We have had diapers on him for night and nap time, and church, but other than that--it's all underwear!

We'll give it a week and see how it goes--hopefully by next weekend we'll be done!
