Potty Training Update

So we're on week two of X-man wearing big boy underwear. We have accidents here and there. It's very spotty. We had two on Saturday, none on Monday, one on the couch this morning before school, but it's been great all day. All the accidents are urine related, which I guess is easier than poop. 

Mostly we're trying to focus on X-man watching where he's peeing. He tends to look around and point his penis in different directions. We're also still using a potty seat in the kitchen rather than the big boy toilet. He seems to notice it more and be more consistent in using it than when we take it away. But overall, he's hitting the toilet between 6 and 10 times every day without any trauma, and for that I'm very grateful. I think it'll be a while before we're 100 percent, and he's still got a heavy overnight diaper in the a.m. But on Monday he came downstairs, announced he had to pee, pulled off his diaper and used the potty. He could have peed in his diaper -- but he didn't. 

And I think he's cool for that.

Henry did that too. I couldn't count the number of times I said watch where you're aiming! But at 4.5 he now has excellent aim.

Well I know some 7 year olds who STILL don't aim terribly well. He aims find when he's focusing on it but if he's talking to you.....well, you know how some people talk with their hands?
