Potty Training, Third Times a Charm

Well, here we go again! The Bamboo cloth diapers were working well, but after some microfiber inserts we needed a day or two of disposables and the idea of potty training presented itself once again. So, we began the journey, but no more 3 Day pant-less potty training! The first times there was to much grabbing, and I really didn't want to go through that again, so this time we did it "Mary style"... Underwear, a potty nearby with hand sanitizer, and a timer on my phone for every 20 minutes (every 10 if he's actively drinking). How did I get my timings? Trail and error people, trial and error. Who wouldn't start with every half hour, it's just so perfect!... until there's an accident every time just after the 20 minute mark!!! Anyway, the training is seeming to go well. George is getting the drill and is doing very good at sitting on the potty. I tell him that he can play again after, but that it's potty time, and he does such a good job. His communication skills have improved, so it's easy with understanding him and makes the whole process easier, and he can pull up his underwear up himself too so this is self sustainable. Anyway, the roughest part is past and we're all in for the ride. Wish George a happy potty training! Maybe he'll be fully trained before his third birthday coming up too. :)
