Potty Training

This weekend has been dedicated to POTTY TRAINING!!!! Yesterday, we woke up and headed right to the store for you to choose your big boy underwear!  You chose a package of super heroes, Lightning McQueen, Thomas the Train, Mickey Mouse, and Ninja turtles! You were so excited about all of your new underwear and you were even more excited to run around the house wearing those without pants. Within about ten minutes, we were cleaning up Lathan pee off the carpet. You did not like how your big boy pants felt while they were wet - you grabbed another pair and said "change me!"  We took you to the potty every thirty minutes - you hesitated at first, but eventually you went in your Lightning McQueen potty! Daddy and I made one heck of a celebration out of it - we screamed and hollered, threw you in the air, told you how proud of you we were, and rewarded you with candy. The look on your face was priceless - you were so excited and so proud of yourself!! We called everyone and you very proudly told them that you went potty in the toilet!!! You had one more accident yesterday, but that has been it! The first time you "poopied" in the toilet sent you into a panic - you started to shake and said "I poopied in my toilet, oh no! I poopied! That's gross! Clean it!" You must have thought that you weren't supposed to do that or something because you were very upset that there was poopoo in there. Mama kept telling you that you were supposed to do that and that we would just clean it up - then you were fine!  Today, you have told us every single time that you had to potty; you have done absolutely fantastic!  We are so incredibly proud of you and how quickly you have caught on to it - I know that you will probably have accidents again, but this potty training weekend has been a total SUCCESS!
