Let The Potty Training Begin

Gavin has been showing much interest in the potty and telling me that he needs to go. Most of the time it has been right after he went in the diaper. So i decided let the potty training begin. Im not sure if I'm ready for it but i would love to not have to change two sets of diapers when our new little guy joins our family in May. So here is how the day has gone... 1st accident I'm getting laundry ready to put in the washing machine and hear "Mommy poo poo". I stop what I'm doing and go to him and he takes me right to where he peed on the floor in his room. (good thing its wood and easy to clean up) So we clean it up together and change into dry underpants. 2nd accident Im folding laundry and when I'm done, go out to take him into the bathroom. I see him with a rag wiping up the chair. I asked him what happened and his reply is "I accident. I clean it up." I'm so proud of him for cleaning up after he had an accident. I hope that he doesn't think that he can pee anywhere and then clean it up and be ok. I guess i need to be more on top of it. Lets see how the rest of the day goes.

Its almost bed time and i have to say its been a 50/50 day. Tomorrow will be better for sure. We have been using M&M's as an incentive but I'm thinking that $$$$$ may be a better idea for him.
