Adventures in Potty Training

I have waited in dread for the day we would officially take that leap into serious potty training.

I must say it has gone 100 times smoother than I ever anticipated.

For Holden all it took was "big kid underpants" featuring his favorite characters.  He has been diaper free (except for sleeping) for two weeks.  He hasn't had even one "accident" this entire week!  I think that is pretty impressive for a little boy who NEVER seemed bothered to sit in a wet/dirty diaper.

Holden (a lot like his mother) responds well when expectations and steps are outlined up front.  It becomes a sort of game or challenge.

My goal was to have him using a potty full time by his third birthday.  We are 3 and a half months away so I'd call that a "success!"
