Guess What we are doing today???




And just for the record this was totally NOT my idea :-)

Honestly I was totally content with the diaper thing. I guess I am a lazy mom, but seriously...he is only 3 and weighs next to nothing. It is much more convienent for me just to use diapers.(told ya I was lazy)

We have been home just over 8 months and I really didnt plan on potty training until after his surgery. He still has a significant prolapse that needs to be repaired, so his physician thought it would be best to wait to start potty training after that due to lack of control as to avoid frustruation for both of us. Worked for me!

So imagine my surprise when Sam insisted the other day that he needed to go potty...Yeah right! We havent even brought up the potty thing in a LONG time so I thought he would sit and be done in 2.2 seconds.

NOPE....he sat and went, the little stinker. And he did it again, and again and again throughtout the weekend. No prompting...no nothing. Seriously?

Now to be fair, he did have a few messy diapers in between (it couldnt be that perfect could it?) but everytime he said he had to go, he did!

I was kind of hoping thinking that this interest would fizzle out once the cheering crowd (ie siblings) returned to school, but no such luck.
This morning was the kicker though....out of the blue it was Mommy, I gotta go potty and proceeded to poop up a storm! TMI I know, but really???

So off we went to buy big boy undies with Mickey and buzz and spidey on the butt. I also invested in one of those seats for the potty since he doesnt like to use the child size one...He's a big boy dontcha know??

And I am now delegated to spending vast amounts of time on my bathroom floor being thoughly depressed by the fact that it is not nearly as clean as I thought it was :-(

6 little notes from friends:

Go Sammie! If he's ready, you've go to be too. Let him go for it if he wants to.

Congrats.

That's funny....I remember thinking about how un-clean the bathroom is while potty training. But it sounds like it'll be pretty easy since he's so interested in it. I'll be potty training twins very shortly. *Sigh*

Thanks for stopping by my blog It's the Thought that Counts and commenting on my newly reconstructed blog. I'm a new follower as well.
