Oh potty training!

Perhaps others are able to get their kids to potty train right from the beginning in the bathroom... not us! We have had so much more success if Jackson is allowed to leave his potty in the front room. When we have company over the potty goes to the bathroom, but in our everyday life it stays in the front room where when Jackson feels the need he can run right over and jump on it. I am hoping once we get a hang of it more we can move it the bathroom for good.

We have had our first few successful days in the potty training world these past few days. We have been trying a lot over the past weeks, but none of it seemed to really click until these past few days when Jackson has really wanted to go in 'His Potty Chair". It's sort of a funny little chair. There is a sensor at the bottom so when he goes the chair starts playing a song! He thinks this is fantastic!!

One of the hardest parts of this potty training this is seeing how sad he is when he has an accident! He is heartbroken to have to change his undies and be cleaned up. He has never liked to be dirty, so I think perhaps this may have a part in this.

I don't love this potty training stuff, but am really hoping that he gets a hang of it before the summer comes. If he is anything like the other little boys I know he is not going to want to stop playing to come and use the bathroom, so I imagine trying to potty train during that would be even harder! Cross your fingers!

P.S. I love this picture as he is just hanging out the his potty reading books! SO FUNNY!
