We started talking about potty training a few months ago (in September), but he was NOT ready... like cried and cried when we tried to put underwear on him. So we decided to put the potty training on hold and wait a couple of months. Around Christmas Peyton started asking to put on underwear. We started right after Christmas and he has done wonderful! It took him a couple weeks to learn how to go #1. We had a few days with 15+ accidents a day, yikes! It took him a couple weeks after that to learn to go #2 in the potty. He has now mastered them both and we have gone a good amount of time without an accident! On the rare occasion that Peyton takes a nap, he has not needed a pull up. It has been great! I am so proud of my big boy!
First time wearing underwear!
He was so much easier to potty train and I think mostly because he is such a people pleaser. Praising Peyton goes a really really long way. If he sees that you are excited for him, he is 100% motivated. Even though he has learned how to go potty by himself, he still says "mommy come watch me!" Patrick is also very encouraging of Peyton. Patrick will cheer for Peyton and tell him that he is doing so well. Peyton just beams with excitement after Patrick encourages him! It is too cute.
I took Peyton to go and pick out a potty training surprise and instead of picking out a present for himself, he picked out a present for his brother instead. I love this child's giving spirit!
He was ready excited to give Patrick a present!
After a couple days we went back to the store and I let him back out another toy. He needed a special surprise after such hard work! So proud of my sweet little guy!
