Wondering how potty training is going in the DeVincent home?

Well, OK I guess.

As you can see Thursday and Friday were really good, any little tinkle ended up in the potty.

Saturday morning Hailey went on the potty.  Kyle wanted to help Daddy outside. I knew putting him in big boy potty pants was a huge risk. However, he did so well Thursday and Friday coming out from his room or coming up from downstairs to use the potty I thought it was worth a try.  Obviously that didn't go so well. Hailey peed herself and as I was changing her he came in soaked.

I assured them both it was OK it was an accident.  I also asked Kyle if he wanted big boy pants again and he said YES.  I thought well, maybe since he was wet once and he didn't like the feeling he will come in. Nope. Within 5 minutes he had pooped.  So off with the big boy pants and on with the pull ups. Despite the 2 accidents it was a move in the right direction a.) he actually wore big boy underwear and b.) he wore pull-ups.  So that was a WIN in my book.

Sunday was similar to Saturday.  Kyle work pull-ups all day and actually came in from outside once to pee on the potty.  Better than nothing =)

Today was better.  Both wore pull-ups.  Kyle peed 5 times on the potty.  3 of those times were tonight when he should have been sleeping, but hey at least he got out of bed to pee on the potty AND another win: he would pee with his pants at his feet instead of having to get completely naked.  He still won't sit on the potty  so we do need to work on his aim. But a win is a win and I will take what I can.  Of course Hailey is his #1 cheerleader.  She follows him in everytime he goes and claps and says "good job Kyle".  Then she has to try.  I guess her copying everything he does has its benefits sometimes =)

So I'm not the greatest potty trainer.  At least we are making progress.  I admire all those moms who have expert potty trainers in a day.  My children are going to take it slow and steady.  I do recommend the stickers as a reward. My kids LOVE them and I feel a little better because I am not rewarding them with food =)

Happy peeing =)
