Noah Update

Just a quick little update on Noah. He has been wearing his big boy underpants (exclusive of naps and bedtime) since Thursday. We don't use pull-ups anymore since he wasn't having any accidents.

Yay Noah!

We are so proud of Noah and his potty training progress! After some easy tips from Elisa, Noah is well on his way to keeping his big boy pants clean and dry. On Saturday, Noah let his first #2 go in the potty at Mimi's house. (I will spare you the picture, but yes, we took one.) It was exciting to see it in the potty knowing that it wasn't smothered on his behind waiting for us to clean it off him. He was so proud of himself. He kept walking over to the potty looking in saying, "Wow! Noah go poo in the potty!" He didn't want us to dump it in the toilet until he got all the praise in the world. Anyway, we were out a lot of the day on Sunday and he kept his pull-up dry the entire time letting us know when he needed to use the restroom. He sat on the toilet (without an insert) at the mall two different times, once at Home Depot, and also at church twice. He told the teachers in his classroom that he had to go and went without any problems. He is still very hesitant to go #2 on the potty and asks occasionally for us to put a diaper on him in order to go. Of course we don't, but I also fear that he might get blocked up because then he tends to hold it as long as he can. ANYWAY, I know this is probably all too much information for most of you, but this is such an exciting milestone for not only Noah, but Jay and me too!! Great job Noah!!

Here we go again...

Elisa gave me some great pointers on potty training yesterday. Noah has not been the least bit interested in the longest time, but I think we may have it figured out. Day one was a success! Thanks Elisa!

He did it again!

This is the last time I will post about his bathroom usage, but we are so proud of this little boy that he is starting to understand the concept of the potty. This is Noah putting his second sticker on his drawing. It's hanging on the fridge at his level. Everytime he walks by, he stops and looks at it.

Yes he did!!

After a short hiatus, Jay decided to give the potty thing another go. This big kid went poo poo on the potty! He flushes the potty himself, then waves and says "bye bye poo poo" as it swirls away. Jay could not get rid of the smile on his face (yes, Jay's face) because he was so proud of him. Of course, we know this is only the first time and it won't be a total victory until he can go consistently. Here's for hoping!!

Potty Time!?

Noah is so good on his potty!! He sits there for at least 5 minutes and reads books with Jay. The only problem is that he hasn't used his potty yet. Jay thinks he has stage fright. I think we are just missing the moment. He goes to the bathroom pretty much after every meal so we're hopeful we'll catch it soon so we can celebrate and show him that that's what we do with the potty. We'll let you know when it happens - don't worry, we won't show you what ends up in the potty!
