Ahoy! Potty Talk

** disclaimer **

consider yourself warned . . . if potty talk bothers you, this post is not for you!! stop reading!

We did it! We are a diaperless household after 4 years of diaper duty!

My 2 boys were tough potty trainers and after some trail and error, research and asking lots of mamas who had already done it, I found what works for us. I use a method called 3 Day Potty Training by Lora Jensen.

Evan would not even have the potty talk with me. He shut it down immediatley everytime I tried to bring it up. I finally decided he was 3 and I just had to jump in and do it.

 I had the bathroom door decorated when he came down the stairs that morning . . . . and he screamed!! I thought, "oh, this is going to be just horrible!!!"



We went with a pirate theme bc he loves a pirate potty book we have. He got a chocolate gold coin and a paper gold coin each time he went potty IN the potty!

  

                           

Then, I pulled out his favorite red Koolaid Burst drinks and told him he could drink as many as he wanted when he had on his big boy underwear . . . . he smiled and said "ok!"  and put on his crocodile big boys.
I was shocked! He proceded to drink 4 drinks and pee pee in the potty 13 times before lunch!

Evan is ready to "make the grandest pee and poo in all the seven seas!"

"Arrrrrgh, Maties! "

 "Yo Ho! Yo Hee! I've got to make Pee Pee!"

A big smile after his first poo poo in the potty!!

(I know that is completely disgusting to talk about, but it is possiblely one of the the hugest milestones EVER, so it must be captured in pictures and words by this mama!!)

Happy Sailing from these Scurvy Pirates! Its all dry on deck aound here! ~j
