Potty Training Progress Report

Well, I'm sure that you are wondering how the potty training is going...actually, I can't think of anything else to blog about tonight, so here it goes.

We officially started last Tuesday. Riley and I went to Target and he picked out some "big boy underwear." (After growing up with so many sisters, it's hard for me not to call them panties, but I am resisting the urge and calling them underwear.) Riley was so proud!

It has gone fairly well. He's not afraid of sitting on the potty and he loves the candy treats he gets when he goes to the potty. He's only told me a couple of times that he needs to go but for the most part he's staying dry. There have been a few times that I have wanted to quit but with some encouragement from my friend Jen and my mom, I am trying to stick with it.

Some memorable potty training moments (so far):

1)Riley choosing a new potty seat at Target. I tried to encourage him to buy the more boyish one of Cars, but he insisted on the Dora seat.
2) At the YMCA I was in the bathroom stall and Riley starts cheering at the top of his lungs "Yay, Mommy! Woo-hoo!!"
3) Riley running towards me at Sears saying "Oh, no!" as his crocs start filling up with pee. (Seriously, he had more liquid in his shoes than in his shorts! Thank goodness they were his washable crocs!)

Stay tuned for more riveting potty details!! :)
