Potty Log: Day 4

Dear Lord, I pray that we’ve turned a corner!  Today we only had one accident all day!! And arguably the early morning accident was my fault because I didn’t force him to sit long enough right when he woke up. The rest of the day he peed and pooped like a champ in the toilet! There is still a significant amount of prompting and forcing to sit when I see his ‘signs’ but we had success nonetheless! I’m also learning that Andrew needs ‘to go’ every hour or so at this point (TMI I know….) which is helping me learn when to force and when to back off. Self-initiation is still missing but I’m confident that will come in time.

Today’s performance was critical to my mental health and sanity…especially since Andy had to fly to Chicago early this morning for work until Wednesday. This weekend was filled with tears (Andrew and mine) and my questioning if he’d be the only college freshmen still in diapers….and if the world had enough wine to keep me sane through this process. But the book kept saying to stick with it and eventually it will ‘just click.’ Turns out it’s not total bullsh*t.

Pray we keep moving forward!

PS- Poor Teddy. The little guy spent lots of his day staring at his older brother on the John. Thank goodness he won’t remember!
