Third Day of Potty Training!

I loooove those cute legs!

FIRST TRY

Our first go at potty training Ira when he was 18 months didn't over as we had hoped.  The morning had started off interesting because Ira couldn't see the excitement or the accomplishment in succeeding in potty training.  Then half way through the day he got diarrhea.  We ended up stopping in the middle of the day and decided that the timing was definitely not right with him being sick and after evaluating the experience I had come to the conclusion that he just wasn't quite ready. 

SECOND TRY

Our week started off having both of our kiddo's in big kid undies!

We are three days in and Ira is doing GREAT!  Yesterday he only had a couple accidents and he is finding the excitement in celebrating his victory and loves being a big boy!  This experience is much better than the first experience, because he is ready and healthy.  I am so proud of him!  I still can't believe that he will be turning 3 in February!

So I started potty training both of them together.  We went the whole first day with both of them in their big kid undies, but the second day I decided to completely focus on getting Ira on board.  I have been monitoring Hazel's and I don't think she is quite ready.  Soon, just not quite.  I don't think it will be too long before both of our kids will be potty trained and in big kid undies for good.  It has been cute.  Hazel will sit on the potty and Ira says, "Come on dider (sister), go potty!"  Tehe.  It makes me giddy.  They are such a cute pair!

A couple things that have helped Ira.
(1) Treats of course.
(2) Books and Toys while he is sitting on the potty.
(3) He gets to play games on the Ipad while he is on the potty.
(4) Great apps on the ipad for potty training.  He loves Rachel from the video's Baby Signing Time.  There is an app where he can call Rachel when he succeeds in going potty in the toilet.  He also gets to call her when he doesn't succeed and she gives him encouragement.  Their are video's, sticker charts, and games that come with the app to encourage him.  It is 5 Star!

So far it has been a good experience, exhausting, but good!
