Potty Training

Potty training started for Brayden a few days after his 3^rd birthday.  He was scared of the big potty so we had to purchase him his own little potty.  After the second day of potty training I finally got him to go number 1 on the potty.

He still had many accidents for a few weeks, but soon he learned quickly how to go number 1 in the potty.  Every time he went number 1 on the potty he got to put a sticker on the potty chart.   We also purchased him a potty watch which he really liked wearing and it helped remind him and me that he needed to sit on the potty. 

A few months passed and he still wouldn't go number 2 on the potty but had a lot of stickers.  We decided to try a new method and purchased a fire truck toy… After a while he didn't care about that as much so we purchased him a bubble lawn mower.  Those toys just sat high up on a shelf waiting for him to go number 2.  

Finally, after almost three months of the little potty he decided he wanted to use the big potty so we got him a little seat to go on top.  He still was only going number 1.  I started reading up on potty training and a lot of people recommended that I needed to catch him in the act and toss him on the potty.  Finally, one day I had the opportunity and he realized it wasn't so bad to go number 2 on the potty.  He was fully potty trained about a month later.
