Potty training!

Well Its time. Past time really to start potty training Logan.
I did some research via the wonderful web, and came upon this site of a woman that had potty trained over 300 children.
She had a book you could download for seven dollars and it dealt with lots of issues you can have on potty training.
Basically you use the same words...were using pee-pee and poopy b/c that is what he says when he goes in his diapers.
I got him up this morning. Told him excitedly that he gets to wear his 'big boy' panties he says lol and no diapers.
I took him to the potty and he sat there.
Sometimes it is hard to keep the child interested, especially if they were watching a cartoon and wanting to get back to it. So I got him a book and that helped keep him on the potty a little longer.
Im cutting down on his liquids b/c the kids can drink.
Im taking him to the potty every 20-30 mins.
So far we have only had one accident in little over an hour.
If you keep up within 3 days your child should be pretty much potty trained.
One thing the book said is that you need to set the time out and concentrate solely on potty training your child. Make it fun, but be consistent.
Will let ya know how it goes. Im lookin' for signs that he has to go to the potty. and the first time he goes on the potty, he won't know what to think cuz I'm going to make such a big deal about it.
Oh and it did say it's better to make the boys sit down on potty to train them. It's easier. When they have better control then you can start teaching them to stand up to go pee-pee.

Well it's time for a potty break.
