Rowan is Potty Trained!

Woo-hoo!!!!!

I wasn’t even planning on starting potty training with Rowan until he was heading towards 3, but he showed all the signs of being ready and was really excited about the whole thing. So, I figured I might as well try! He’s done GREAT! I followed a 3 day plan where you have to stay home for 3 straight days and you literally can’t take your eyes off of them for one single moment. It was pretty exhausting, but definitely worth it. Rowan is so proud of himself and loves talking about his cool batman, spiderman, and cars undies. We also started a sticker chart. He loves putting stickers on the chart everytime he goes pee. Yesterday was my first day taking him out. We went to library story time, and drove 40 minutes to a playdate at my friend Kassandra’s. I was also worried he wouldn’t go at someone else’s house and although he was a bit skeptical at first, he did great. Not one accident!

It’s so funny though… the program I read talks about kids who WONT use the potty. But it didn’t talk about kids who WONT get off of it! Rowan has started saying he has to go all the time, so that he gets the extra attention and treats. It’s hard because we don’t want to discourage his enthusiasm, but we also have to draw the line when he wants to go before bed 3489 times.
