Potty Training 101

 First, I figure out how to twist my fist while calling out "Mama, mama!" really loud, because she doesn't always hear me the first time.

 Then I learn the difference between "clean and dry" and "wet and icky."  I try to keep my big boy underwear "clean and dry" by always using my potty chair.

 I like sitting here, because it usually means I get a cool toy to play with (my favorite is Mommy's tape measure) or someone reads a book to me (Tyler even read to me today!)

The best part about this is that I get to wear my comfy big boy underwear.  No more stiff, scratchy, soggy diapers.  I'm not a baby anymore!*

So, Monte's been using his potty chair every morning since he was 6 months old, but now we're wanting to ditch the diapers all together.  We stepped up the training intensity today and he only had two accidents.  We shall see what tomorrow brings.  It would be so nice not to have to buy another box of diapers!
