Potty Training Day 3

Today ends day 3 of the 3-day potty training. I guess we'll know tomorrow how much of it will stick with him when we aren't with him every second of the day. Although we're still treating tomorrow as a similar day to make sure that he makes this new potty thing a habit. When Evan woke up this morning his bed was soaked again. We definitely don't have the nighttime thing down. Then we placed him on the potty with a slight fight from Evan (we've realized that he does better on the potty if he has something in his hand). He went on the potty and then throughout the morning he still had some accidents and we weren't sure how well this 3 day thing was going to work with him. But later in the day he told me when he needed to pee a few times and we even did our poo-poo in the potty. I think he may have the poo-poo thing down. He took a nap for over 3 hours (so this training is exhausting him as well as us) and woke up dry. I coerced him to the potty where he relieved himself. Then dad encouraged him to go potty before dinner and again relieved himself. Before his bath he went on the potty again. So he knows to go on the potty and is really good at holding in his pee for hours now. What we aren't sure of is how well he's able to tell us when he needs to go potty. I think tomorrow will tell us more about that. But he's done a great job and I think it will stick with him (at least we hope)!
