Remarkable Progress Potty Training

James is doing exceptionally well with potty training. It is truly amazing. About a week and a half ago, I switched James to underwear. He learned very quickly that you don't want to pee pee in your pants (cause it goes everywhere). From that point on, he has had very few accidents. In fact, he has not had a single accident at school (knock on wood).

For the last 3 nights, James has woken up dry. I was shocked. The poor little guy was real sick on Wednesday night, but he managed to stay dry. On Thursday night, he went to bed at 6:30 and woke up at 6:30 the next morning...DRY!!!! And last night he went to bed normal time (8:00) and woke up just before 7:00...again dry! Each morning he calls for me and says he needs to go potty.

I am so pleased with his progress. I would tell any parent that has been struggling with potty training to consider abandoning the pull ups and go to underwear. The first time he had an accident in his underwear (it was everywhere...so be prepared for that), but he freaked out and learned very quickly that he did not like that feeling. YEAHHH!!!!

YEA!!!! Way to go Big James! Yes, the Pullups are just expensive diapers. I am jealous that he is already waking up dry. Way to go. Jack still wakes up soaking wet every night. You are in the home stretch, girl! Be proud.

Yeah, wouldn't you know that you blog about it, then you jinx it. It's like when I blogged about losing weight... then I gained four pounds.
