January 1st 2016- Kieran went pee in the potty for the first time. It was so cute...I read him a book about using the potty and when we finished asked him if he wanted to go. He said yes, so in we went, but he "couldn't" go. I told him he didn't have any pee in him, but he could drink some water. He did and immediately came back, sat on the potty again, and then was frustrated that it wouldn't come out then. I told him it takes awhile so maybe he should read for a little while. He said ok, looked at one book, and came right back again. He sat there and sat there until he finally went! He was so proud of himself and excited! He hasn't had much interest again until now.
March 15th I was at volleyball and Dan texted me that he had gone again! He's gone at least once a day since then. He is so excited to go with me next week to pick out underwear! He picked out Jurassic Park boxer briefs and Captain America/Ironman briefs. His favs are the dinosaur ones of course. Since then he hasn't had much interest, but will wear underwear at home and stay dry. He won't go #2 in the potty yet, but we are getting there. Daycare isn't too interested in him showing up in underwear so I'm guessing that come summer we'll just bit the bullet and go for it! This afternoon he wore underwear and used the potty four times! He was doing his water thing again where he's sit on the potty while drinking water and then look down. I tried explaining how it doesn't come out that fast, but he wasn't quite getting it. Ha!
June 2016- I was done with school and able to focus on this with Kieran. As soon as VBS was done it was underwear for Kieran full time. He picked up peeing in the potty pretty quickly with only a handful of accidents so far. The one in the carseat after Dan had already left for his mission trip was a bit challenging. The neighbors had to help me get it out and then in after washing it. Pooping "brown stuff" as he calls it (sorry, gross I know) was harder. There was the time he pooped in his underwear and then ran away from me when I tried to help him. We had to carry him in the house in a garbage bag. He asked if we were going to throw him in the garbage:) The next day I found lumps of his poop in the yard. Another time we were at a park a half mile away from home. He had to stand up in the stand up stroller the whole way home. Thankfully he's getting that down too. We still have to watch him closely as his instinct is to just go, but he's now trying to and letting us know. We are very proud of him and he asks us after he goes if we are. Of course we are! He's such a sweet boy and we're so happy for him as he makes this new big accomplishment.
