Ready, Aim...

Potty!!!!

We decided that Mac was now ready to venture into the world of potty training, so on Tuesday the adventure began! I honestly was not real sure about how things were going to go. And to be real honest, I just wasn't real sure what in the world to do, especially since I have zero experience with little boys and how they do their business at the potty :) I got lots of info from my mom and sister, a few helpful tips from Facebook, and then I went to the store to arm myself for the big day. I am so thankful that Thomas the Train is in the underwear business. When I was telling Mac we were going to buy him some underwear, he was insistent that we get Thomas. Lucky day, they had them...for a nice little price that is :) I quickly learned that you pay a pretty penny more for characters to be on your hiney! I also picked up some M&M's for rewards, which works very well with Mac. He is so thrilled to try to potty for an M&M :)

Day one we had five accidents, and I was a cleaning machine! Day two, one and days three and four, zero!!!! Yay Mac!! And yay Mommy!!!! It is hard work for all involved. And very time-consuming. Speaking of time, I have a ticking timer sound stuck in my head long after Mac goes off to bed :) All in all, I am very proud of our Big Boy Mac and glad we have had a positive experience!!!! (I'm hoping we have the potty skill perfected by the time we head to Disney at the first of March.)
