Success!

It's really important to celebrate each success, no matter how small.  For the last week, Aaron and I have been working harder than ever before on the potty training with Blazer.  He's resisting, but we're persistent.  Couple of things we are trying:

1) Place him on the potty every hour - celebrating even if he goes or not..
2) Setting a two-minute timer with a cool alert at the end, making sure he has enough time to do his business.
3) Praise, praise, praise.  If he went, we throw one heck of a verbal party.
4) Purchased cool "Cars" and "Monster's Inc." pull-ups. (Yikes, I know what they say about pull-ups, but damn it, we have to try everything.)
5) Brought the little potty in the living room, so he doesn't feel rushed to go watch a favorite show.  (This has actually worked great! ...and if you are judging about Netflix cartoon watching for a toddler, just don't go there.  Ha.)

Finally, I wanted to share today's success.  I put Blazer in his bed for a nap.  15 minutes later I hear him in the bathroom.  I figured he was in the tub playing with his bath toys, which is odd because he NEVER leaves his room during sleep times.  I walk upstairs and his diaper is on the floor and he's on the toilet - GOING POTTY.  Praise all that is holy in toilet world.  This is a major leap for him, and I'm so excited.

I'll be even more excited when he does the #2 deed on his own...  Yes folks, poop is very exciting when you have a toddler...VERY.

Have a great Sunday!
