Alan and I agreed that this would be the perfect weekend to begin JD’s potty training. Why? Well, it was because yesterday, while JD was playing quietly in his room, he took off a poopy diaper all by himself, and let’s just say the Lightning McQueen blanket may never be the same…
Of course, that was completely forgotten by this morning. I was standing at my sink putting on my face, when JD walked over to the toilet and said, “Potty. I go potty, Mom. I go potty.”
Oh, right. He did not forget. That’s usually what it takes for potty training dreaders like me to finally get it done.
So we did it. HE did it! I stripped down his bottom half. That’s right. He went naked bottoms all day long.
It was so easy. JD’s readiness made it a breeze.
We now have three successes in the pot and only one accident—Yeah, he peed on the Lego drawers.
This morning he went two hours without going, so I poured warm water over him, as he sat on his little potty. That did the trick. Then the other times, he just casually walked over to his potty and peed. Whoot!
Oh, and I use pull-ups for nap time, and wonder of wonders. When we opened the Pull-Up box, there was a full-sized stuff Mickey Mouse in the box! What a perfect surprise for his first day of potty training! He was so excited.
We didn’t even have to resort to candy bribery. Throwing a jump up and down party worked well for JD.
The third time he went, he stood back, pointed at his potty and said, “Ta-da!!”
hehehe

It's such a good feeling when they start going all by themselves. I hope it continues and wish you much potty-training success! Thanks for sharing at the Manic Mondays blog hop :)
How adorable that he said Ta -Dah.. Brendan pooped in his diaper before potty training once and when I took it off he yelled ta-Dah, I just looked at him and said its not a magic trick son lol.. He actually potty trained pretty easily. potty trained kids are the best ;)
Oh, the potty "training" phase! Well, it looks like you're in the home stretch - AMAZING! Isn't it funny how initially it seems like these things can take forever and then whoosh - they're over and done with!
Wishing much more success!

Oh I wish! Anneliese is just not digging the potty. Maybe later. keep up the good work JD!
I knew when he actually asked to go, I could escape it no longer. You and she will be ready at just the right time.
Exciting!!! Sounds like you got this thing down-pat! That is so cute that he said "ta-da!"
Thanks! I loved the ta-da!
