Big boy Theo

On the cusp of his 3rd birthday and one full week into the Three Year Old program at preschool, we decided to make one last attempt at potty training. We've spent many a weekend prior to this one cleaning up pee and hounding Theo to sit on the potty. We never got anywhere and feared our wood floors would be warped from the amount of pee leaked on them...... sigh. We switched our approach this time and Dave and I traded off shifts with Theo so we were constantly vigilant. And by vigilant, I mean we were staring at his underwear and at the first sight of a dribble, we immediately helped him on to the little potty. It went from puddles with no reaction to puddles with reaction, then dribbles and finishing on the potty, to grabbing himself with a dribble and then pottying (with us asking him if he had to potty) and finally to him initiating and asking to go potty!!! Success!!!!

We seriously went through about 15-20 pair of undies today (some were just dribbles but we needed dry undies) but the end is near! I feel confident to send him in underwear with several changes of clothes to school on Monday and know that he'll transition there :) Now let the celebration of his birthday begin!!!!
