Today our baby boy officially started potty training!! The day has been rapidly approaching when diapers would simply no longer fit the boy. And to be honest after almost 3.5 years we are completely sick of changing his diaper! Up until today I think Noah has sat on the potty maybe twice and never actually did anything. He has long since outgrown the baby potty that we bought him last year so had it not doubled as a step stool it would have been a complete waste of $30.
Mike declared earlier in the week that since he had Fri & Sat off this was going to be THE week. The original plan was to take his diaper off and let him figure it out. That plan clearly did not come from Mama. So when bathtime rolled around we said "Noah why don't you try to go potty!". I do not remember exactly what was said but somehow the bargaining chip became a bubble bath*. With the promise of those sweet decadent bubbles he hopped on the toilet (he don't need no stinkin' baby seat!) and went, woohoo!!
*Noah LOVES bubble baths. He would take six a day if you let him. I think he enjoys getting sick because I let him soak half the day to help his runny little nose.
