Here we go...I decided today was the day for no more diapers. Porter and I went to the store a couple of days ago and bought some treats (candy, his favorite chips, and small toys) for his potty training bag, which he calls his "poopy bag." Before he would even finish going potty he would look up at me with a big smile and say "I get a treat," or "I get another toy!" I swear he would stop his pee, just so that he could go again a couple of minutes later! But that's okay because he was a little champ today. In the morning I had to help him and I kept reminding him to not go in his bed or on the floor, etc., but by the end of the day he would say "mommy I have to go potty!" And then I'd follow him to the bathroom and he'd say "no mommy I can do it all by myself, can you please leave?" So grown up...
I'm not kidding when I say he was on the toilet probably 200 times today. He loved his "poopy bag." Sometimes he'd say he had to go, get on and then look up at me and say "oh, maybe not." It was pretty cute.
This is the way he looked all day! Cutest bum ever. Sounds gross, but it actually worked. I hope tomorrow is another good day of toilets!!
This is how I found Claire sleeping for her nap today, so uncomfortable, but so cute! I had to add it.

how cute is clair! I love that! Congrats on a successful potty adventure! I am jealous!
I hope that's it for you!! That would be so nice. I'm dreaming of a day with no diapers.
how cute!! That will be awesome if Porter is potty trained! To only have on kid in diapers, that would be the best thing in the world, I can only imagine! I need to get me one of those poopy bags when I start with Grace and Olivia! Loveyou!!!
wow - I'm impressed. that is maybe the least problematic potty training I've ever heard of! I'll be coming to you for tips when it's time for Romney!
hooray! tell porter he can have a treat from me too! potty training is the worst so i hope he stays great for you!
xoxxo
Awesome Meg! I love that little bum. I'm excited to hear about it in his words on Sunday! Love you!
What a cute little bum! I love that you posted that. And how cute is Claire, I haven't seen you forever. I'm coming up on Sunday for dinner at my parents I think. so maybe we could meet up or something!
Ugh, I don't look forward to potty training. But I love your idea of a "poopy bag"... that is great! I'll have to remember that in about 2 years...
ugh...potty training. Love the picture of Claire in her bed sleeping. Steve took pictures of Camryn asleep the other day and I love it. She gets in weird positions too!
He was really naked all day!? You're braver than me. I'm still a big fan of the extra padded undies, which, BTW, are sold at ShopKo--it took me forever to find them.
Way to go Porter! I am counting down the day for when I can start potty training Ella. I HATE changing diapers. It's like the worst part of being a mom! Especially when you have a daughter who likes to reach down there to see what's going on when I'm in the middle of changing the nasty thing.
I'm sooooooooooo proud of you, Porter!! And I'm proud of your Mommy too........for being so clever and thinking of the "poopy bag" idea! I can just see and hear the little bugger running back and forth to the potty to try and get some more treats! Heck, it's what I'd be doing too!!!! How wonderful it will be to not have P in diapers! Sounds like he's being very cooperative! Yeah, it's working!! Love you!! x0x0x0x0x0
Oh boy... the things I have to look forward to! Thanks for the gret tips, Meg. I'll have to remember that one day. :)
Yay for Porter! Sounds like a fun day for you, Meghan. ;) I think my sister potty trained one of her kids that way and it worked great for her too. I am not looking forward to potty training because I am assuming for the worst (you know, lots of messes in places you don't want them!) Good idea about the bag of treats.
What a great idea! We may steal it from you when Kaden get's to that stage!
cute bum! Save that one for the wedding video! So... the big question, is he potty trained? I have to start Parker like now because he is constantly ripping his diaper off. poopy bag... here we come!
Love ya!
Wow. I wish I could have thought of a poopie bag before I potty trained my girls. Alexis was a nightmare.
Oh how I need a poopy bag!! Anna had THREE accidents yesterday. All poops, too. Way to go, Porter!
Hey, our blog is private now and I didn't have your email address so email me if you want to be added. kbills88@hotmail.com
Oh that bum! He is so cute! That's hilarious. I can' totally picture him doing that.
congratulations porter! and MOM! potty training is such a big deal isn't it...it makes them seem so much more grown up and its a huge accomplishment for you meghan, so well done! the first day of potty training was probably one of the most hilarious (and exhausting) days! i don't even know how many times hannah tinkled on the carpet/couch/chair/etc.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nice little bum love to see how tight it is, wonder if it's as tight as my little nephews......oooooops as tight as his WAS! he is a VERY good boy for uncle jack
