well, i jumped in today. mostly because when i was calling around trying to find a good daycare they were all, 'is he potty trained?' and I was, 'umm, no.'
so when i got home from a quick meeting at my job wiley and archer and i went to the store and bought a poster, stickers, cake mix, undies galore, and prizes. we made a chart so each time he goes he gets a sticker on his chart. every few stickers he gets a prize. we made a goodbye diapers cake and a hello big boy underwear cake and sang a silly song we made up about "goodbye diapers" and "where do i wear underwear? on my butt!" we also had a serious discussion about how even tho he's going to pee and poop on the potty he can still get lots of cuddles and sit in our lap and get carried around and nothing else will changer. so from about 2pm on he wore no diapers and no accidents. I would put him on the pot about every hour hour and a half and he'd go. he even pooped. so he got two dinosaurs for prizes. he refused to wear any of his new undies all day, and just had on his sweats. it wasn't until bed time (of course) that he decided to try on every pair of new undies, of which we have 16 pair. it was good though. because he insisted on doing it himself and talked about not pooping in his diaper anymore and how he was a big boy. he's wearing a diaper to bed. he peed twice before sleep, so i'm really hoping that things go ok tonight and this continues. there are some good prizes yet to be awarded!
my archer is growing so fast. like so much faster than wiley. i can't believe he'll be 4 months friday. it's not so much his age tho, it's what he can do that's freaking me out. he's sitting for short periods of time, he has a tooth poking through, i can practically carry him on my hip, and he reaches for toys and seems to enjoy them. wiley also cracks him up. the other night wiley was running back and forth across the room and archer followed him with his eyes and laughed every time wiley ran past.
wiley had a tick today. boo. bring on the tick eating chickens!
