We are embarking on a lovely journey here at the Erickson household.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 One we have taken many times before.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 It’s called potty training.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, I have somehow successfully (ha!) trained my 4 other children to use the potty, and now it’s little John’s turn.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 This morning, since his diaper was dry when I went to change him, I told him it was time to sit on the potty, and by some chance, he managed to pee while he was sitting there crying.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Unfortunately, he peed on yesterday’s\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 clothes that were draped on the side of the bathtub (that’s what I get for not putting them away), but he peed nonetheless.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And there was much celebrating.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I had promised him that if he used the potty (even once), we would go to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point, so off we go today.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 He also got to wear the undergarments of the 3-year old boy….”Cars” pull-ups.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, he did promptly wet in them while we were at Jenna’s class to help out, but he has at least sat on the potty twice more to “try”.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Unsuccessfully.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 But he’s\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 going to\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 sit on that potty every day.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll keep you posted on how much success we have with this one.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Wish us luck on our journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
