Potty Training

Friday morning, Sawyer woke up trying to take off his diaper. Landon asked what he was doing and he said going potty, thus taking the decision whether to start potty training before Kellen's birth right out of our hands! He started wearing undies that morning and with only a few accidents pretty much got it. When I tried in November, he had absolutely no interest and threatening to treat him like a baby and make him wear diapers didn't even work! Now, in less than four days, he even stays dry through the night and wakes us up for help if he has to pee. We seriously had nothing to do with any of it - he did it completely on his own!

Except for poop. He still freaks out about going #2 on the toilet for some reason. I have resorted to bribing, which resulted in a comical conversation. I asked him, "What do you get if you go poops on the toilet?" To which, he responded with a long drawn out mmmmmmmmmmmmm, accompanied by eyes cocked to the side and half a grin.


And then in a very cute, questioning tone, "Spanks??"

I'm hoping he didn't understand the question or I just solved exactly why he refuses to poop on the toilet =)
