Ready or Not!

Tomorrow we are taking the plunge. Potty Training Boot Camp Day 1 will start bright and early. As with every transition we have had to navigate Will through, I am super anxious! I have prepared myself for a rough day tomorrow in hopes that it won't be as bad as I made it out to be. Several of my friends have done the 3 day potty training boot camp and were very successful so this is the method we decided to use. I just don't want it dragging out into a 6 month process. Our chosen method makes us prisoners to our home for 3 whole days with our 2.5 year old in nothing but a t-shirt and underwear. Sounds like loads of fun....right??!! It is my hope that I report back to you on Tuesday saying that it was all worth it. We have done our homework and come fully prepared for the events tomorrow. We made a potty chart complete with Cars stickers. John wanted it to be sort of like a bar graph. He will place a sticker above the day each time he pees in the potty. Hopefully the columns will get taller as the days go by!Here is a picture of Will's supplies for the weekend (We are not above bribery as you can tell - He hasn't seen any of this yet)...

HA!!!
Pray for us! And if you think we are nuts, please keep it to yourself! We probably are but I like to find things out the hard way :)

We are going through camp starting tomorrow too, you are way more prepared than I am! I did just decide to do it today while talking to Shealy. Good luck!!!!!

Girl, good luck! We tried that when Brooklyn was just over 2 and she held her pee for 20 hours and almost had to get cathed, but have heard it works for others. She is a little ocd and hates to mess up. She decided she wanted to use the potty about 2 months later and has had maybe 2 accidents since. I think each child is different, just wanted to warn you to be careful if he starts holding it. Wish you all the luck!

Wow! I LOVE this!!! Although I'm glad we're nowhere close to that yet, I will definitely be copying you when we get there! I love the supplies, the chart, and John's supplies too! Good luck, and I can't wait to hear how it goes!!!

Please let me know how it goes. I plan to do this labor day weekend with Kylie. I do not want to potty train her after the baby arrives and she will be over the 22 month mark. She already tells me to change her and sometimes she tells me she needs to go potty. So I am hoping if I give her another month and a half she will be ready! Kyle is so skeptical of this method so I really hope it works for you.
