Pooperbowl Weekend

Christy declared this past weekend, Feb. 2-3, 2013, to be Pooperbowl Weekend. By which we mean: potty training was begun in earnest.

Christy prepared a battle plan that included: 1) all resources marshaled to the task of potty training, 2) Daniel did not wear pants for the entire weekend (but he did wear his new underwear, which was Mickey Mouse and also Neverland Pirates themed), 3) Daniel was escorted to the potty every 30 minute for a mandatory sit, minimum of 90 seconds, 4) if he successfully pooped, he was given a "muscle car" sticker on a star-shaped chart, and 5) if he used the potty 3 times, he was given a matchbox car as a reward.

We two accidents (pee) on Saturday afternoon.

Around 5pm on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, Daniel peed in the potty for the first time. This was quickly followed by his first ever poop in the potty around 5:30pm.

We had another pee accident Saturday night, Daniel decided he was "done" with the potty, and surreptitiously peed in the kitchen. However, potty trained recommenced on Pooperbowl Sunday with further successful pees and poops.
