The biggest factor has been 1) finding time to read the book, and 2) finding the week window she wants us to clear our calendar of. We lead busy lives, not to mention this is the holiday season. But this week was the best; no yoga, no preschool, Matt can work from home, and he's off Thursday & Friday for thanksgiving ...
So where are we now? We just finished up Day 2 where Wesley was pant-less & diaper-less all weekend. He even took a nap with no diaper today and tonight is our first diaper less night (yes, we're plunging into night training all at once). He was gung-ho saturday morning. At breakfast he started to go and told us so matt swooped him to the potty! We were ecstatic. We had a few accidents after that but we prompted him enough times too so that he went in the potty. It was a great first day. Today ... he had all accidents. We tried prompting him and he refused (or would sit for 2 seconds and get up). Right before bed in fact, he went behind a chair to pee and his first poop was in the bathroom between his toilet and the big one ... We had resistance today too. The "no pee in the potty, I want my diaper" drama.
Hoping tomorrow is better and that I can catch him in the act even with Claire in my arms.
By Thanksgiving (at my aunts no less) he'll be 6 days into potty training and we hope that by then we have a good handle on when he needs to go (and that he won't be hiding behind her couch). And we'll bring plenty of pants.
