Well, we decided to try it. Call us naive, first time parents, but we set aside a weekend and just went for it. The first day was tragic. I have never been so discouraged and I have never spent so much time in a bathroom! I felt like I was ready to just give up, but by the end of the day, Dean was recognizing when he needed to go and running for the bathroom. Day 2 was much better! Only a couple accidents. It had sunk in and he was excited about getting treats for keeping his new Elmo or Thomas the train undies dry! We are proud of this little two year old for learning how to use the bathroom like a big boy SO FAST!
