Potty Training - Day one

Whew! I survived day one of potty training Alex. We have actually done well with only a few wet accidents and 1 other. When I decided I was going to start potty training, I told Alex that when his diapers ran out then that meant it was time to be a big boy and go in the big boy potty. So everyday I would say "Alex we are almost out of diapers- do you know what that means?" To which he would reply "more!" That little stinker!

Anyway, Alex has enjoyed running around the house today in nothing but his Cars Big Boy undies. I even found him with his snow boots on at one point but when I tried to get a picture he ran away- maybe next time. Hopefully he will be one of those boy geniuses and train with minimal effort. (I'm trying to do the whole positive thinking thing here- don't rain on my parade!)
Side note: Here are the pics of Alex in his snow boots. They are blurry but too cute to pass up!

I think bribery will work! Bribe him with those terrific super hero undies and CANDY! Yep...that will work. Oh, yeah, and money. That should do it! Good luck!

how's the training going now? a week and a half out, are you completely out of diapers? We can't convince Ryan that money, m&m's, lollipops, hershey's kisses, anything is worth it. I'm afraid grammy and grandpa are going to be in for it for about 12 days in May. SOOOO exCITeD! Thanks for organizing so much of this!
