The good and the bad- so far

Day 1 was good and bad- mostly good.
First, the bad:
-It is really stressful when you have one little boy that has just had an accident, one little boy on the potty that keeps yelling for you, and one baby screaming because he's being neglected and you have locked him in his room so he doesn't crawl in the pee.
-It it very aggravating when you have a baby in his high chair crying because he's hungry and your 2 little boys are going to the potty and as soon as you have washed their hands they want to go again and again and again and the cycle repeats itself for a half hour. How do you tell them no though because the one time you do they will have an accident and the poor baby's crying volume gets louder and louder and louder. This was repeated several times through out the day.
-When we first re-did our bathroom like 5 years ago we loved the extra high counter top; we've now realized it's really hard for little boys to reach the water to wash their hands, even with a stool.

Now, the good:
-Austin did not have a single accident!!!
-Zack only had 2 1/2 accidents!!!
-Austin pooped in the potty twice.
-Zack pooped in the potty once.
-Seeing my cute little boys so proud of themselves.

I just hope that it keeps going this well and today wasn't a fluke.

It only gets worse... :) Just kidding. Josh is almost there, but it's been a looooong process. Hopefully the boys are ready for it. Our problem was that WE were ready for it, Josh wasn't.

By the way, you might want to get some more underwear... :)

By good you mean GREAT! That is super impressive for day #1.

What exactly is 1/2 an accident? :)

Heidi said...

Malinda- 1/2 an accident is when they start to pee and only have 2 little drops come out and realize it and then run to the bathroom and finish in the potty. :)

Potty training is hard work, can't imagine doing it two times! Congrats. Kids on toilets are one of my favorite photos.

Congratulations Zack and Austin you now have a record of your bowel movements on the internet.
Now they know what it's like to be a celebrity

Pooping the very first day? That's UNHEARD of! My boys each took an ADDITIONAL 6 months to become poop-trained after they were pee-trained (which took way too long!)
