It's Potty Time!

Evan has shown signs of using the potty for months now.  We tried potty training back in November with the 3 day, stay at home method and it didn't work.  So back to diapers we went.  Yesterday I decided that now is officially the time.  He knows when he goes, tells me to change his diaper, and even BRINGS me a clean diaper to put him in! 

It's been 36 hours and so far so good.  Sort of.  It's not going to be 3 days that he'll master the potty in, but it's a start.  We're going cold-turkey too.  No Pull-Ups.  Underwear only!  Today he went almost 10 hours without going potty.  10 hours!  After several beverages and a nap!  This doesn't surprise me though.  Evan is a very stubborn little man and knowing him, he thought "Ha!  I'll show you and I just won't go on the potty at all!"  Well, nature caught-up to him and he made it all the way TO the potty before going.  Yah Evan!  He still asks for his diaper and whines/cries to me to put it on him, but I know it's just because he has to go #2.  Yep, still waiting for that one to happen!

Anway, 1.5 days down.  Several to go I'm sure.  But we're in it for the long-haul!  Laundry, carpet cleaner, Skittles, bed pads & all!
