Potty Training!!!

On January 8th Sawyer sat on the potty for the 1st time!!! He has known the whole potty concept for awhile now but just would not sit on the potty. When we would try to get him to sit on the potty but he would tense up and become straight as a board. Tom was able to get him to sit on the potty one night while getting ready for bed. Tom refused to put a clean diaper on Sawyer until he sat on the potty. Sawyer sat in his room for a little while and then came running out of his room and into the bathroom.



He only sat on the potty for about 15 seconds and then he was ready for his diaper. Tom and I very excited though with his progress of just sitting on the potty.


Then on January 10th Tom did it again! He was getting Sawyer ready for bed and sat in the bathroom with Sawyer for what seemed like forever but really was probably only about 5 minutes trying to convince Sawyer to sit on the potty. Well not only did he sit on the potty but he went wee wee!!!



Then yesterday he still wore his diaper but we (meaning Tom and Mie Mie - I was at work) kept putting Sawyer on the potty all day long. He went two times for Daddy in the morning, once for Mie Mie and then once for me when I came home. He were extremely proud of him!

And now Today!!! Daddy put Sawyer's big boy underwear on and we set the clock. I was excited about today because we had nothing going on all day and knew we could really focus on the potty. The timer went on and every 25 minutes we were in the bathroom going potty. All said and done Sawyer went wee wee on the potty 22 times and only had 2 accidents!!!! The other exciting part was that Sawyer even told me 4 times when he had to go potty before the timer even went off!!! It was also really cute that when Sawyer would be on the potty he would look down and say "coming?!" and then once he started to go wee wee he would then say "there it is!". Today was a lot of work and not only made me tired but Sawyer as well ;)
