Me.... Procrastinator?

So, Brad & I have been debating for a while now on Potty Training Braiden. My side~he is not ready, Brad's side~ he is.

Turns out Brad was right, a rare occasion in this house:)

My little boy Boo is potty trained. I think I was procrastinating it because I was not ready. Let's face it, it is a LOT of work, all the accidents, leaving the house with the fear of him peeing in the middle of a store, whew, it's a little scary.

Not this little boy, he made it sooooo easy. I never knew it could be so simple.
On June 9th I decided to bite the bullet, we have been playing around with it for months, but I always keep a pull up on him, that way if there is an accident, no mess. Well, because of this I procrastinated actually putting him on the toilet "Faithfully". On Mondaythe 9th, Mommy & Braiden had the "Big Boy" talk. He is IN LOVE with his cousin Jonas, who is 5. So I explained that "Jonas doesn't wear diapers, he goes Potty on the to-to & wears big boy boxers". DONE, he wouldn't think of wearing anything diaper again. I have to put the "Night Time" pull up on most of the time after he is asleep because "Jonas doesn't wear those." It backfired just a little!
But, on the other side, I can probably count the accidents we have had on my fingers, he is doing so good!! He rarely even has an accident now & I don't hardly have to even remind him to go. He holds it till the last possible second & then takes off running screaming "me have to go pee pee!!!"
In the beginning I was putting him on it about every 1/2 of an hour if he did our didn't have to go, after about a week, he got it!!! He does it all by himself!! He doesn't even want me to wipe him, of course I do, but he argued for awhile the first time I needed to wipe for the #2 (there is no pretty way to say it) Because he explained to me that "Daddy said boys DON"T wipe" I had a fun time trying to explain that Daddy meant when you pee, not p--p!!

    He did so good. And everyone says boys are harder. He proved them wrong.
