The Boo

It figures, when I decide to post about it, he has an accident. But oh well, I'm still going to brag of how proud I am of Aiden :)

I potty trained Aiden back in May using the Potty Training in a Day method. It took Aiden 3 days to really be considered trained-but it worked! I highly recommend that method, but it's most effective if it's the first exposure your child has to potty training. We had introduced Aiden to the potty before, and the "singing" the potty did made him scared-so it took him a day to get over that, and that's why it took him 3 days vs. the one day: but hey, not complaining! He has had very few accidents since then, and ironically most have been at Laura's house ;) We think its because the kids are so wrapped up in playing that they forget to go...and we're working on that. But during the night I have always been getting him up when I get up to go to the bathroom to avoid night accidents. He has done very well with that-but I do wish he would get up on his own.

Well, since we went to the hospital to have Devin, no one has been getting him up to go to the bathroom-and he has been dry this whole time! He did wake up once last week crying that he had to go potty, and he went just fine. But all the other days he has slept through and stayed dry...up until last night. He did wet the bed-but I'm not upset. He has done soooo well. He hasn't regressed at all. He has been accident free for almost a month (and it was a Laura's house the last time). He has been the biggest help with Devin. He throws away the diapers for us, wants to give him is pacifier when he's crying. He would kiss him to death if we would let him :) He wants to hold him a lot, and now wants to carry him to help put him in his car seat. Obviously he's too little, but I just carry him bent over and he walks with me with his arms around him too-it's pretty hysterical to watch I'm sure. But I couldn't have asked for a better transition. He has maintained his independence, and is just the same old Boo we know and love-just now he's a big brother! We love him so much and we are so proud of him!!
