Potty Party: Day 1

Today is the first official day of Blake's potty training!! We are calling it a "Potty Party!" This morning I was met with resistance ... he did not want to put on any big boy underwear! So we let him roam around with just a t-shirt on. Sam has big boy underwear too, so we put Sam's on and Blake showed Sam how to go potty. Sam got 1 Smartie when he went pee and 2 smarties when he went poo, which of course Sam couldn't eat, so Blake took care of them for him ;) After about a half an hour of "training" Sam, Blake picked up on it and Sam was going potty continuously (pee+poo=3 smarties!!), so we decided Sam was trained pretty well and it was time for Blake to try! After an accident on the couch, we decided that was it, he had to wear underwear! So we wrangled them on him and now he loves wearing his big boy undies!!! He's had about 5 pee accidents in his underwear and 1 poo. And has gone to the potty successfully many, many times (even 2 poo's)! He's even told us a few times that he had to go. He gets to put a sticker on him Elmo potty chart when he goes potty and he's had a lot of chocolate milk and apple juice today, which he normally doesn't get! But whatever works!!!! I'd say the 1st day of potty training is a total success :)
