Tales from the Potty - Day 3

Dare I say it - Luke was ACCIDENT FREE today! I woke up feeling much better, Wally not so much, Luke still had his runny nose, but he was 5 for 5 today - NO ACCIDENTS!!! But also no pooping :( I worried this would happen. It isn't completely unusual for him to go one weekend day without pooping so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

#1 - Luke woke up just before 7 with a very full pull-up so I knew it would be a bit before he had to go again, but he had breakfast and lots of juice and water. It wasn't until noon that he went for the first time IN THE POTTY! He sat on the potty (without a fight) a few times between 7 and noon, but every time said "no pee pee" so we would just go back to playing. Finally when I put him on the potty at noon, he went! He didn't even pee just a little bit in his underwear! Those nearly 5 hours were torture for me though - I couldn't and still can't help but wonder if he has really good bladder control or is just refusing to go?!?!

#2 - We had success again before naptime just before 2. I put a pull-up (we are calling these his big boy sleeping underwear) on him for his nap.

#3 - He slept for 2 1/2 hours and I whisked him out of bed immediately when I heard him talking and we went straight to the potty - success again and his pull-up was completely dry!

#4 - 5:45 another successful pee!

#5 - 7:45 He put up quite the fight about being "all done" on the potty and not wanting to try to go one more time before bedtime. He eventually gave in and after a few minutes on the potty, he went!

We are so proud of him - this is quite the change from yesterday! Is this how it works? Do they just get that they shouldn't go in their underwear overnight??? I am hoping tomorrow goes just as smoothly, but I am also hoping he gets to the point where he tells us when he has to go or just goes and sits on the potty on his own. Wally and I are both off tomorrow for MLK day so we have one more day at home and then it's off to daycare to see how he does there!

I'll try to take some pics of the cute little guy in his big boy underwear tomorrow. All of my energy has been sucked up by the flu and potty training so I haven't gotten around to getting the camera out!
