I've Lost my Mind!!

No really, I have. I woke up Monday with the brilliant idea that I should start potty training Porter. I threw out his diapers, put him in big boy undies, and let the madness begin. I trained the twins at 24 months in 3 long short days. Surely I could train one 21 month old too. Right? Well if you are interested I am a firm believer that the 3 day potty training method is the only way to go. If you want more info click HERE. Basically you throw away all the diapers. Stockpile a shit-ton of undies. And a million and a half treats (prizes, candies, stickers). Then you simply just tell your little water fountain  to tell mama when you have to go the the potty four hundred and fifty times a hour day. The trick is to catch him in the act and run as fast as you can to the potty and hope that he drips some in there so you can reward him. Sounds easy, right? Eventually he will realize the sensation and be able to tell you he has to go. Give him lots to drink so he pees a lot and can catch on quicker. Problem is I have 2 other kids that share my attention. And anytime I blink Porter pees and I miss it and see a puddle on the floor. SUPER!! And you seriously must be attached to his hip at all times...or you miss it and are left staring at a puddle or worse...if you get my drift

BUT I think he finally caught on today. Yes we may have success people. This is BIG. Big I say. Why? Well because at 9 this morning I was ready to go digging in the trash for those damn diapers. But no...I Persevered. And I think he's got it.

Here's a rundown of the longest 3 days of my life.
Day 1~  Potty -1     Floor-9
Day 2~ Potty-6      Floor - 6    ( I was thinking maybe he was getting the hang of it)
Day 3~ Potty- 9     Floor-4    ( All 4 floors were before 10 am. ) So no accidents as of 10 am.

And here I sit at the end of day 3. Slightly smiling...slightly paranoid  that he may have forgotten everything by the morning. Pray for me people......
