Well the first two days of potty training we were home all day so if Alan had an accident we just clean it up and went on with our day. Today, however, we had to run errands and in the evening we had a retirement party to attend. I didn't stress long before I realized I could just put the whole potty, a towel, and some extra clothes right in the van. So each time we were getting in the van we sat on the potty chair. He didn't go the whole time we ran errands, but we had no accidents. This afternoon he peed and pooped in the potty before we headed out to the party. We attempted to use the big potty at the party, but I think he felt like he was going to fall in so he asked to go in the van. He went potty in the potty chair in the back of the van. I watered some weeds and we went back to the party. Ironically we received a potty training sticker chart in the mail from pampers today and he was just as excited about writing his name and hanging that in the bathroom as he was about the fruity tootsie rolls!! Big milestone today of 24hrs accident free. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as only time will tell before he is completely potty trained.
Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride. He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway!
