Potty Training: Day 2

Today was another good day for Elias! Again he had 2 accidents (1 #1 and 1 #2), but there was still some good accomplishments. First of all he actually wore underwear/pants today. Yesterday we kept the undies off and let him run around naked because every time we put them on he would pee in them. However, today he did much better. Sometimes he would go when we made him sit on the potty and other times he would let us know that he needed to go. I was really impressed with one situation that happened today. He came running to me saying that he had peed on Buzz (he had Buzz Lightyear undies on). I hurried and sat him on the potty and prepared to clean up a wet mess. Instead I found that he had only peed a few drops and had realized what he was doing. He was able to finish on the potty! He even went #2 later on in the night. Things are going well, but tomorrow will be a test. We are going to take him to church without using a diaper. I have 2 changes of clothes ready just in case, and I will actually be in the nursery with him during 2nd service. We will see how it goes.

He did learn a new line today that he repeated often. He is really reluctant to poop on the potty so he basically "held" it in all day. This resulted in the release of a lot of gas! Every time I would hear a little toot from him I would ask him, "Elias, do you need to poopoo on the potty?". Every time he would answer (with way too much attitude that resembled a teenager) "No mom. I just farted!" I swear he rolled his eyes at me when he said that!
