Potty Pride!

So, it's been a little over a weeks since we started Kellen's potty training. And I am proud to report that it has been quite a success! He is doing so well!
Kellen is potty training very differently from Makenna. With her, as very typical of Makenna, you could not tell her to go sit on the potty and try to go. She had to go on her own accord...of her own deciding. It was frustrating for awhile, and we had A LOT of accidents because of it. But once she got it, we were golden.
Kellen is very different. He needs to be reminded every 40 minutes or so to go. As long as you tell him to go potty every so often, then he does fine. But if you leave it up to him to tell you when he needs to go, you will most likely have wet undies. He has signaled on his own a few times. But mostly he is relying on us for reminders right now. I know eventually he will take on that responsibility himself. And I think this is the more "classic" potty training technique. I am just happy to have not had a diaper on him for 8 days now, and very few accidents. He either has no accidents these days or he has just 1, maybe 2 on a bad day. So good job Kellen boy! It is going to be exciting having him in a toddler be and potty trained by his 2nd birthday.
We love you Kellen! Way to go stud muffin!
He looks so cute! Little boy undies are awesome! Love it!

Wow ... potty-trained before he's two?!? That's terrific. Good for you and Kellen. I'm not looking forward to potty-training Elizabeth, but we still have many months before we get there.
