Potty Time!!!

Da da da da!!!  The royal throne of potty training has come out of retirement for rounds two and three!

This little man here, my little Gabey Goo, has been talking about going potty and wearing "unnawears" for months and months.  The thought of potty training two boys simultaneously nearly brought tears of frustration to my eyes.  Then the holidays were upon us.  What a difficult time to start potty training!  Schedules are all out of whack and there is always a party or get together of some sort going on.  So, I resolved to start potty training with Gabe after the New Year.

As you'll see from the date of the pictures, I started as I'd planned on Monday, January 3rd.  Lets just say this first attempt was a three hour test of my sanity and our washing machine's load capacity.  :)  Needless to say I gave up after three hours filled with three pee accidents and one poop accident... all in our new "unnawears" to boot!

Nothin' cuter than a 'lil bum covered in his "unnawears"!

Ok, fast forward to today.  Today is the day.  No more diapers.  We can do this.  Seriously, this was the pep talk going on in my head.  :)  I would say that today was a victorious day!!! 

Gabe started the day off with an accident... of course.  I would be lying if I didn't say that I was frustrated.  "Here we go again."  But from then on out, it was peein' on the potty like a champ!  I was even able to graduate from the 10 minute potty breaks before lunch time.  What a big boy you are!!! 

I know that you are proud of yourself (proven by the serious flaunting of your lollipop reward!) and I hope you know how proud I am of you.  You did GREAT today big boy!  Next stop... a trip to the store to buy you some very special Spider-Man "unnawears" all your own!  Keep up the good work buddy!  I love you!
