"the plunge" into the wet & wild world of
potty training!(dun, dun, dun...)
I decided to take the
3 Day Potty Training route.
Which meant:
No diapers...period. Tons of fluids,
consistency, patience, & praise.

Were we insane? Maybe, but these
charts speak for themselves.
Day 1 - 25 % accuracy 75% accidents.
Day 2 - 50/50 split.
Day 3 - 75% accuracy 25% accidents
Progress was tract. Praise doled out liberally
(as were
candy bribes & matchbox cars).
The washing machine never stopped running.
And I finished off a bottle of Tylenol.
A prize for going #2 in the potty.Did the 3 Day Potty Training work?
Yes. By the middle of day 2 Jack was
telling me when he needed to pee.
Jack wasn't perfectly potty trained in 3 days,
he needed more time to recognize what it felt like
to need to go #2, but he was almost there.
Jack's motivational reading.This has been
the longest 2 weeks of our lives,
but Jack & I happy to report
that Jack has gone days without an accident,
gets up @ night to pee, & wakes up dry
in the morning!
Jack I want you to know that
I'm so very proud
of you for conquering this huge milestone.
I can't help but smile when I think of how far
you've come in such a short period of time.
The End
