So technically we should be completely potty trained by now, considering I followed a three day method. However, upon further reading of that said method, I realized two things: one, it said that the child should be at least 22 months of age and Benjamin isn't quite 21 months old yet. Oops. Also, it did not factor in the vomiting-diarreah scenario, which we were so lucky to experience this weekend (can you hear the sarcasm?). However, the book did say not to stop for any reason, so we plugged along.
So how is he doing? Well, he hasn't worn a diaper since Thursday at 2:30 pm. Out of 23 times of-ahem-relieving himself, 12 times were done on the toilet. That is over a 50% success rate, people! Give it up for the little, not-quite-even-21-months, guy!
Obviously, he is not 100% potty trained. He peed in his underwear this afternoon, but this time he told me just as he started to go. An hour later he told me before he needed to urinate and we made it to the toilet where he could pee like a big boy. As proud of him as Nathan and I are, we know that there are still going to be accidents. But hopefully they will diminish as the weeks go by and maybe by the time his second birthday rolls around I can call him "fully potty trained."
I can say one thing with (almost) full certainty: I think we're done with diapers for good. So, uhh...anyone wanna buy a case of size 4 Kirkland diapers? Anyone???
