Potty Training!

About a week and half ago I took on the challenge of potty training Isaac. People think I am crazy for not waiting till he is 3. They say boys are much harder to train do to the fact they don't pick up on things as quickly as girls. Yes I can say that is true but Isaac is such a clean freak that it didn't surprise me when he didn't like the feeling of peeing in his big boy pants. I read the book Toilet training in less than a day. I didn't stick to the guidelines but just took small tips from the book that worked well with Isaac. Everything went great the first 3 days then suddenly it went south. He decided he didn't like pooping in the toilet and held it for 2 days then letting go in his big boys. I seriously thought I was going to have a breakdown and give up right then and there. (REMEMBER; PREGNANCY= RAGING HORMONES) The issue continued for 2 days and I almost pulled out the hidden diaper stash. But soon I found that getting mad and frustrated in front of him was not going to change anything. I sat him down (on his potty) and told him about every Disney character I could think of that he likes and how they don't like making poops in their pants, he then decided at that moment it was OK and that he didn't want a dirty bum and went in the potty. Hallelujah!!! Things have been better since and no accidents (well minus a couple wet pull ups at night). Now I wont have to worry about double diaper duty come the end of next month! Oh just have to leave you with one of the many comments Isaac has come up with during this whole potty training experience! He was sitting on the potty trying to pee (since I literally was taking him every 15-20 mins the first day) and he couldn't get anything out. He turns to me and says, "mommy my pee pee needs new batteries, it's not working." My child has a solution for everything that goes wrong!
