Adventures in Potty Training, Day One

Okay, so with this being spring break, I thought I would try to focus on getting Liam to use the potty. He’s got the concept down pat…he still doesn’t understand that he needs dry pants, though. So, with Monday being busy (I’ll post on that in a while) and Tuesday was errand day…that marked today as our starting point.

And…the results are…he’s had one accident. I started him off in Thomas the Train undies and that was when he had his accident. After that it was freedom time! He was going when he needed to and telling me when he had to go. I very rarely reminded him, but mostly he felt it and ran! I’m excited he’s done so well. So far, it’s just #1 not #2 yet.

My only concern…going out in public… as far as I know walking around without pants on is a faux pas in this area! So, I have three to four days to really work on it with him and get him undies!

Oh, and Josiah had roseola (well, he still has it). Roseola is a virus that shows up in a fever with no other symptoms. The fever lasts three to four days then AFTER the fever the baby breaks out in a rash. Ace has had it, and so I knew what was going on when I saw a rash on his belly yesterday morning. I called the doctor’s office to confirm. He just threw us off because he was getting over a cold along with the fever. The rash is not painful and in no way bothers him. It’s not even contagious…it just looks bad. So far, the rash is staying on his trunk area.

And…he’s got his eighth tooth in! We found it last night. He’s been in much better spirits today and he slept well last night…phew! Four teeth in less than a week is a bear! I’m praying for a break in the teething for now. He can handle lots of food with eight teeth.
