For the past few months Joseph has shown an interest in being ready for potty training. It started with wearing his "big boy underwear" or "big boy boxers" over his diaper, talking about poop all the time and how football players don't wear diapers and big boys (especially his friends Koko and Kason) don't wear diapers. I had no intention of potty training though with a baby on the way and with him just turning 2-figured we had plenty of time and didn't want to tackle it at this point. However, once Ella arrived and we were basically home all day he really showed an interest in it and would run over to the toilet every time. We didn't push it but just went with it and soon enough he was out of diapers for the entire day (except for nap). He only had 1 accident the entire time while we were at home and loves being on the toilet. However, within the past week he has asked to wear a diaper during the day and is not showing as much interest in it-he seems totally content back in diapers. Last week we were at the park and he was in big boy underwear and had to go so I had him pee next to the trees which might have been an awful idea because I am pretty sure that gave him the idea that he could go anywhere which is why I think he has peed in the house twice since. The one time he was standing on the top of the stairs and said , "Mama, pee" and took off his underwear and peed. I also THANKFULLY caught him standing over Ella with his penis out getting ready to pee on her as he was saying "Pee on baby Ella!" Eeeeek! That would have been a disaster! So for now, we are just going with it and if he asks to be in a diaper we put that on and if he asks for big boy underwear we go that route. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks but for now have these awesome pictures from the past month of his journey to being potty trained!
I wonder where he learned to do this!
Sometimes he will pee like this-crazy little monkey!
And this is how he normally gets on to the toilet. He uses the stool every once in awhile but prefers to climb on himself!
