Back on Track

..I had started Brendan potty training since he was 16 months old. It was a bit premature probably, but given the cost of diapers these days I thought I'd give it a shot , Needless to say he's been doing pretty well with it. He would signal to me by walking to the door and whacking on it when he has to go, making Ahh ahh noises, looking at me standing at the door. Given that he can't talk, these are good signs to let me know he has to go! Given also he HAS fallen off the wagon and only gone once a day on the potty and the rest in his pants, and given me no signals at all. He's gone no days at a time.. and the rest in his pants- It's an uphill batttle where it can be a losing one at times. But I've found at three months in, and his love for stickers, I've found he's getting better. He's regularly pooping and peeing on the potty, and I'm throwing less and less diapers in the diaper pail, which saves me money on buyin box after box each month! I find myself only changing 4 diapers a day instead of 8. After falling off the wagon, we seem to be starting off the month back on again. We wake up each morning sittting on the potty, we pee, then after breakfast, we drop Thomas off at school, then we try again and are usually successful with a poo. . He loves getting his stickers which is a real incentive. Who knows? Maybe we'll have this thing licked sooner than we think if this keeps up? Here's our success for this month's week so far..
