Well, we just finished up Day 11 of potty training! It has been a long few weeks--lots of inside time, staying on Tucker's hip, and lots of paper towels and swiffering... But, I really am encouraged as we sit on this side of it! Today and yesterday, Tucker has had NO accidents in his underpants (first 2 days in a row)! A few days ago, we got our 2nd poop on the potty (BIG DEAL after a week long hiatus) and last night we went to a restaurant for the first time where he went pee-pee on the big, scary restaurant potty--I was so proud of him! He's getting better at telling me and he's going long amounts of time between peeing, which makes me realize that he is ready for this! Probably my biggest fear is how he'll do in environments outside of our home, especially if I'm not watching him like a hawk. But, hopefully all this work will pay off and he will start going potty more and more on his own accord!Big boy in his underwear!
These weeks have not been without discouragement, questioning myself, gagging at the smell of poop, lots of M&M's, and going a little stir crazy, but if it's to get rid of the diapers, it's worth it, right?

I just put the same post on Lauren's blog, but thought you might also be interested in the free DVD Huggies gave us. It has many songs and some games that explain what to expect at the public potty.
