Potty Training

I have been incredibly wary of posting anything regarding Eoin's potty training. I thought it would jinx us because I really only thought to post anything regarding it while he was doing well. He really became interested in going 'pee pee' on the potty before he turned two. I was extremely wary of this and had heard not to get too excited or push too hard with early interest as it can be a phase and taper off. Sure enough, although regularly taking off his diaper to go to the potty, when we tried underwear, it usually wouldn't last very long.

Several weeks ago (wow, over a month now!), Eoin took it upon himself on a Saturday to wear underwear. We hopped in the car to run some errands and it wasn't until we were at our first destination that we realized Eoin was in underwear and we had forgot to bring back up. No diapers, pull ups, extra underwear or a change of clothes! Basically we were incredibly unprepared, but our little man surprised us and had no accidents the entire time we were out; in fact, he lasted until almost bedtime before he had an accident! This has continued since! He has had a handful of accidents in this time and most were of the #2 variety in the beginning, but he seems to have that under control now! He is still wearing a pull up at naptime and to bed, but he has woke up dry all but a few times.

We are so proud of our little man and it is just another way that he has grown up! You can tell that he has got taller and he is so skinny now without a little diaper butt!
