As all other journals I have attempted to keep, I have failed to update regularly so...here's just a quick update on potty training!
Basically Day 3 and on we started taking Isaac to the bathroom every hour. Unless, of course, he had an accident then we would drop it back down to about every 45 minutes. I pretty much let him run around bare bottom most of the day unless we go out. He really likes wearing his underwear and doesn't like wearing the training pants for his nap, so I had to make sure he'd go potty before and after his nap. For some reason he always said he didn't want to wear the training pants for his nap, but he was fine with it at night, which was really nice because I'm just not ready for him to be wearing underwear at night. First night that I did let him wear underwear he woke up an hour later wet!
We're now into the second week and doing really well! I'm trying to step back a little from taking him every hour so that he'll have a chance to recognize it on his own and not forget to tell me he needs to go potty. He'll have an accident here and there, but I think we're making really good progress. We've been able to take him out in public too and had him go potty at the stores so he knows that he can go almost anywhere we are.
The book "Potty Training in a Day" tells you to keep the child bare bottomed for 3 months!! I just don't agree with that. I can agree with letting them run around naked helps them not have accidents, but I definitely don't see that happening for 3 months.
I'm definitely one that likes to have pictures with all of my posts, but I wasn't really sure what to take a picture of that's clean! So this will have to do.
