Potty training....

**NOTE: IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT STUFF THAT PARENTS DON'T THINK ABOUT TWICE BEFORE TYPING/TALKING THEN SKIP THIS POST** =)

OK, so since we got Aidan's "acceptance letter on Friday, he has decided that he wants to wear big boy underwear during the day or whenever we are home. We put pull-ups on for nap time and the nighttime diaper for bedtimes. He runs into the bathroom yelling pee-pee!! We are so proud of him.

He actually gets pretty upset about having an accident. He cries like the world is ending. We reassure him and let him know that it is OK that he has an accident because he is learning. He doesn't seem to understand yet and that will come with time. For the mean time he is trying really hard to get this.

His motivation....PRESCHOOL!! He understands that if he wants to go to preschool in the fall, he has to be going potty in the potty and not wearing a diaper. If he is still in a diaper then he doesn't get to go to school. We are a bit curious how potty-training him to go poopy on the potty will go. He hasn't done that part yet and we will cross the bridge when we get there. Oh well. I am just proud that he is ready and that we didn't push him before he was ready. This was the time he has chosen to learn to go potty in the potty. Way to go buddy!!
