All aboard the potty train

This little bear began his potty training journey the week of conference. It has been much more of a journey than it ever was with Jayda but we have still been extremely impressed with how well he has done. He picked out "choo choos" and Mickey Mouse underwear and within the first few days he understood that peeing in his pants was not fun and did not have any accidents in his pants. He can make it through most nights and all naps dry. Poop, however, is a whole different animal. Up until a few days ago he had pooped in his pants every single time other than twice which were both during sacrament. We are talking up to 4 times a day! This kid is regular.

I bought him some dollar store toys and let him sit on the potty chair instead of just the regular seat for security and then I leave the room and he is good to go. This seems to be the answer for him. The last step is to figure out how to get him to get out of bed in the morning instead of just laying there and peeing. This doesn't happen every morning, but way more often than we would like.

We are really proud of him. It is fun to watch how smart he really is and how quickly he can catch onto things. Potty training is a sucky part of parenting, but we are very proud of these two for how well they have done with it.
