Potty

I am nervous about writing this, knowing as soon as I do I may jenks myself, but so far (knock on wood), Henry has been going pee & poop on the big potty! This is a MAJOR accomplishment and we have had a few accidents, but in the grand scheme of things, both G and I are VERY impressed. Henry LOVES his big boy underwear and still wears a diaper at night, which he throws a fit about, but he is still peeing lots at night. He may wear a diaper at night until he starts kindergarten! heeheehee. We went right from diapers to underwear...no pull ups. Our sitter, his teachers at school and several friends said not to mess with pull-ups, go right to diapers. It has worked for Henry. On Saturday we said, okay, we don't have any more diapers to wear during the day, so it's underwear time and he was excited and has peed everytime on the potty. Pooping has improved, and last night he was SO proud of himself for getting ALL the poop in the potty! (sorry to use poop and pee so many times in one post!) We are very proud of our little man. I was convinced that he wouldn't be trained until he was 5....he showed interest, then would not pee on the potty for a few weeks. Anyway, he is doing great and I hope writing about this does not jenks us!
