Potty Training Here We Come

Brooks and I decided to potty train Gavin and we are going to start tomorrow!!  The program we're doing is the 3 day Potty Training Method.    It's been seen and advertised all over and we have had several friends who have done this program with their kids around the age of 2 and it works!!  We're really excited to begin this new adventure and are hoping that Gavin picks up on it quickly.  Brooks and I both studied up on the method, together, and this week I got all of our supplies ready for the 3 days!  We have M&M's and popcorn as rewards, a sticker chart, and 3 brand new CARS potty seats for each bathroom toilet.  We've been preparing Gavin for the past few days of what was about to happen-- we let him try on his new underwear, practiced sitting on the potty seats, and have been showing him where his pee pee goes.  In the morning, we're going to let him throw away his diapers (the rest are hidden and put away in Miles closet for when he needs them in a few years) and start drinking lots of liquids.

Brooks and I weren't really planning on potty training Gavin this soon, however, we knew we wanted him to be potty trained before Miles gets here, and thought this would give Gavin plenty of time to work out having accidents and adjust to this new freedom.  Plus, our schedules are going to get busy with events and things that we weren't going to be able to miss, so we're taking advantage of not having anything going on this weekend.  In order to use this method, you really have to give up going anywhere and doing anything for the 3 days.   We're ready and prepared as we will ever be so here goes nothing!  I'll let you know how things go in the next few days.  Say a prayer for us, please!
