Day 1

Day 1 Casualties:

6 undies

1 pair yoga pants

1 tank top

Overall I would consider today a success. We did have several accidents but mainly progress. 30 minutes can really fly. Most accidents were because I didn't take him to the potty within the allotted time. When the accidents did happen he would stop himself, say tee-tee, then we'd run to the potty. I'm very satisfied with today. There are several funny things that I have to share.

One: According to Eli, "He's too big" for his potty seat. So it makes for fun times. I would say we used it 25% of the time. The other 75% of the time was pure mommy arm muscles. I guess a trip to Home Depot for the dual-potty seat will be in store.

Two: Eli is a boy. He has different apparatus that I have to watch out for, hence the yoga pants and tank top causality.

Three: This might be TMI but I crack up every time. Eli told me he "Poo-poo'd a wildebeest." I love his imagination!

We also had a photo shoot this evening. I don't know what got into him but he wanted pictures taken. These were all his choice of poses.

With Big Bear.

My sweet pea. Doesn't he look like a real boy here? Sniff-sniff, tear.

One with his buddies Woody and Buzz.

And showing off how he is a little kid.

I love this kid so much it's ridiculous!
