Biggest Success

I have tried over and over again to get Aiden to use the BiG BoY potty!  It first started I guess about 8 months ago.  You know when everyone tells you if they hide it's time to lose the diapers.  HaHa not for us!  I tried everything...videos, candy rewards, putting the potty in the living room...you name it I tried it.

Aiden's little buddy here just got potty trained so I thought, Oh Hell, let's give it another try.

I told Aiden that tomorrow we were going to go potty on the BiG BoY potty.

Day 1:  We woke up and I tried to get him to sit on the potty first thing... nothing.  So I removed his diaper and set a timer for every 30 minutes.  Aiden, when the timer goes off we have to sit on the potty!  This worked!!  He sat but didn't go.  I tried to give him a candy reward, he took it but didn't eat it.  We continued this all day... I filled him with water and salty foods all day.  He never did eat the candy.  Diaper at nap time and bed.

Day 2:  We started the day the same way... no bottoms.  We were much more successful with using the potty and not just sitting on it. I made up a song that we sang and danced to every time he was successful using the potty!  He loved this!!  It made me happy too...no candy!

Day 3: We had a few accidents, but that's ok.  It happens.

Week 2:  Aiden has been doing excellent!!!  He usually takes himself to the potty and doesn't want his song or any help!  He's been having dry diapers every night too!!  In a few more weeks I think we'll try undies at bedtime!

We couldn't be more proud of Aiden!!!

Saving about $60 a month not buying diapers and wipes anymore!!  WooHoo!!!
