Well we’re TOTALLY into potty training these days. We’d been doing ok but still wearing pull-ups. But a couple of weeks ago, Alec’s teacher, Mrs. Gina thought he was ready and asked if I’d let him wear underwear to school. Sure!! Her mess to clean up, not mine!! Anyhow, he’s been doing great!! A few accidents here and there but for the most part, he’s getting it!
Although, it’s not always easy when we’re away from home or school. He did GREAT at church last Sunday, but not so well for lunch afterwards. We stopped by Mimi’s after church to get Mimi and Papa for lunch. Alec used the potty as we were walking out her house. We literally drove around the corner to Mac’s for lunch. As soon as we made our plates and sat down, Alec announces “I tee tee.” Yep, you sure did! Whoops, we had to go for a quick wardrobe change in the parking lot.
Mornings are tough too!! Yesterday Alec woke up dry (he normally does) but refused to go potty for an hour. (Same battle different morning! Ha!) Then as I was putting on my clothes, he pees in the middle of the living room. Another clothes change before school… Agghh!! So this morning, I made a plan. I told him several times yesterday that as soon as he wakes up in the mornings, we’ve got to run go to the potty. Needless to say, this morning, when I got him out of bed and told him we had to potty before we went in the living room, he starts with the “Don’t Want To’s.” But I told him if he’d go tee tee we’d go make some muffins together. Took a minute of pleading from mom and few more “Don’t want To’s” but he finally did it. Hummm, wonder what I can bribe him with tomorrow morning. Hopefully he’ll soon realize that it actually feels better to your belly to potty first thing!
But I must applaud Mrs. Gina, Ms. Kristen and Ms. Morgan, Alec does absolutely WONDERFUL at school!! If it wasn’t for their hard work, I’m not sure we would have ever figured this out!
If anyone has any poop suggestions feel free to suggest!! Not doing very hot on that side of things!! Not sure how many more poop undies an already sick pregnant mom can clean out!!

I had to get rid of the pull-ups. I think since they're like diapers, it's easy for them to confuse them. We decided one Sunday just to go for it and put him in underwear. He's been in them ever since. He had a couple of accidents those first couple of weeks but it was only when we were home and he was playing. He still wears diapers at nap and bed times-not ready to cross that bridge. I also rewarded Jackson when he pooped in the potty by taking him to Books A Million. Hope that helps!
