Potty Training Alexander

Last Wednesday I accidentally started potty training Alexander. He hadn't the faintest interest in using a toilet and was quite happy using diapers. I bought him some underwear so that he could start to get used to the idea. After trying several of them on and looking at himself in the mirror he decided he was ready to begin using them right away. The Wall-e pair was the one that really cemented the idea. I've been very impressed with him. Once he decided he was ready, he's done great. It took him a few days to get used to the general process, which he adjusted to while using pull ups. Now he's wearing underwear. If I had known it would be this easy (so far), I wouldn't have avoided it for so long.


Here is the picture to embarrass him with later. Right now he obviously doesn't know to be embarrassed as he selected this picture for the blog.

Washing his hands. Very important.

Now he likes to run around in his underwear. Hopefully, he'll get over it by the time he goes to school. :)
