Toilet Training

I have been so fortunate when it comes to my son. In more ways than one but in particular when it comes to milestones in his life. He never ceases to amazes me. When he was an infant he slept thru the night at 3 months. He stopped using his pacifier as soon as he was able to find his own thumb and console himself with that instead. Then he stopped sucking his thumb all by himself. Just stopped doing it one day. He went from a bottle to a zippy cup overnight like it was nothing. He started eating solid foods just as easily. Even moving him from his crib to a big boy bed while a small challenge was fairly easy considering some of the stories I have read! Now we are approaching potty training. My son's day care has been trying to get me to potty train him for months now but my instinct has always told me wasn't ready. Well this past week he has been showing me more signs that he is ready. So today I sent him to school in underwear and he did great. Not only that but he also pooped in the potty for the first time tonight and I didn't even have to ask him if he had to go.



Now I am no fool - I know we are going to have many accidents along the way going forward but I am still so proud and happy right now. I am also glad that I listened to my instincts and didn't try to force him sooner. It really is true what some people say. Your children will always let you know when they are ready. All you have to do is pay attention!
