We started potty training Sam last Monday. He did really great. The first day was definitely the hardest. Something about being confined to the kitchen area for 5 hours or so and constantly asking, "Are your pants dry?" over and over... I thought I was going to go insane. Add that to the fact that Dan was gone 4 nights last week until 10 (getting SCUBA certified), and it made for a LLOOONNNGGG week. But I think we did it. Sam hasn't had an accident in quite a few days. He goes to the bathroom without being reminded. He'll stop in the middle of playing and run to the bathroom if he needs to go. He's graduated from the potty chair to standing up and using the toilet. Now we just need him how to figure out BMs on the toilet. That's hard to do when he now only goes like once a week. TMI. Sorry.
The best part of potty training, other than not changing diapers, is the super cute underwear. Sam doesn't like having his picture taken sometimes. This was the best I could get.
That's Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba. He also has sports underwear and Thomas and Friends underwear that he earned by going to the bathroom at church.
I think it helped that we waited until he was three. Before that, he showed zero interest and now he's just old enough that he gets it. Also, for those who might be potty training soon, we used the book "Toilet Training in Less Than a Day," recommended by Gretchen, in case you're interested.

Sweet brobee undies! I think we're about to try Z. Wish us luck.
I wouldn't want to be photographed in my tightie whities either (even if they aren't white).
Congradulations Sam!!! You've made your mom very happy!
Mom, did you spell congratulations like that on purpose? Sam's underwear is awesome. GO SAM!
