Potty training

Isaac has been wearing underwear during the day since the last week of July. It has been 1 week and he is not having accidents! In the first part of the week, he would wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom... of which Mommy wasn't the happiest, however, he now can wake up with a dry diaper! We bring a portable over-the-toilet potty seat with us wherever we go now instead of a diaperbag, and he has used the restroom successfully at Target, Bob Evans, McDonalds, church and at our friends' houses :) We are very pleased with his progress :)

(Wrestling and pinning oversized stuffed bears is not part of the training process, but these photos are the only ones that I have of Isaac wearing big boy underpants!)

Caution... you don't always know what you're gonna get!

Photos of Isaac may have to be taken several times before getting the desired facial expression...
