Potty Training Time!

After three mornings of relatively dry diapers, Nate and I have decided that it might be time to introduce 2.0 to the potty.

Normally his diapers are very wet in the morning, so I was surprised to change diapers that didn't really need to be changed.  Even when he gets up from a nap, his diapers are relatively dry if I change him before he's laid down.

So today we went shopping for a potty.  The choices are ridiculous.  There's potty seats and potty chairs in a variety of colors and themes.  Some make noise, some don't.  Some are padded, some aren't.  I really liked the one that looked like a frog and becomes a stool for the sink after potty training.  We settled on the Sesame Street potty seat because 2.0 started screaming "Elmo!" when he saw it and got very excited.

He fell asleep with it still in his hands on the way home from the store.  It was adorable.

We're starting him off by sitting him on the potty seat with his pants still on, just so he can get used to sitting up there.  After that, we'll see what we need to do.  I'm planning on scouring the library for books on the subject this coming week.

I can't believe we're starting this process now.  Once he's potty trained, he really won't be my baby anymore.

It will be nice to stop changing diapers though.
