For the last few weeks Payton has been taking his diaper off every time he poos or he pees. I am sick of cleaning it up all the time. Especially when I wake up the next morning to find it all over his room. I had tried everything to keep his diapers on and nothing has worked. So I decided that if he is big enough to take his diaper off then he is big enough to use the potty!!! We are on day 3 and on day 2 i was ready to give up completely.. Potty training is for those who have patience to do it. I find I run out of patience a lot and then we both just get frustrated and nothing works well. Surprisingly Payton has done pretty well.. He still can't tell me when he needs to go sow e have to make it a point to go every 10-15 minutes or so.
For some reason all day long he thinks it's a game with me and he still hasn't figures out that he doesn't have to always "push" it out. But he gets so excited when he actually goes and then he runs in the kitchen for his treat.. It is actually really cute. I enjoy potty training more when Ray is home. Payton does better when daddy takes him and he always go better as well.. I can't figure that out either.. Oh well.. We really haven't had too many accidents. Its when I get busy and forget to take him potty.. He still hasn't figured out the pooping in potty part yet, but hopefully by next week we will have more progress.. That would be great..
It will be nice to have only 2 in diapers. In the process of potty training Payton I have noticed that Abriee is starting to want to use the potty as well. She will always have to sit on the potty after Payton. I have no desire to start her at the same time as Payton.. There is no way I am going to put her in panties either. One is enough. No pull ups for Payton and no more diapers.. We went straight to underwear and that's they way it will stay. Luckily for me he stays dry all night and through nap time. I hear that's a good step..
I am thinking that when Payton gets better at the potty then I might try with Abriee. I just keep thinking it would be so nice to only have 1 baby in diapers.. We will just have to see how much patience I have when I am on better track with Payton. I look forward to the weekend so Ray is home to take over potty training!!! Yeah for Daddy!!! For real this potty training stuff might just drive me to the loony bin as well!!!! So if you try to get a hold of me and can't check the loony bins and I will probably be there!!

Ha ha ha . . . I can't believe he is already potty training. Just so you know, Bradley is four and a half and still has accidents sometimes. Good luck with that! I was hoping Connor would potty train at the same time, but I'm glad he didn't because I bet he would have reverted back with all the changes - moving, new baby, etc. See how it works, and definitely keep me "posted." :)
Mmmhhh... potty training... People thought I was the oddest parent when my kids would ask at church to go potty and I would lean down and politely tell them, that's why they have a diaper on... A bit backwards... but it worked for me. I wanted to wait until M was a bit older, that way it wouldn't be so frustrating. Although, she wasn't a diaper remover/ poop wiper eaither, so that may have changed my opinion.
I would totally work with Payton,get him all set, then focus in on Abriee. She would totally do it and be good at it before #3 comes.
