Potty Training

So the last week while my Mom was out of work as well as Alex, we started the potty training process. Although, if you ask Carlos he began the process because he got Alex to poop in the potty first. We have both big boy underwear and pullups, but I think pullups are too much like diapers so we put the boy in big boy underwear. He was not sure about them at first, but now he loves picking out which ones to wear. His choices are plain white, Disney Cars or Disney characters. He has actually done very well. He can go pee pee great now. He will tell us that it is "pee pee time" and we run in there and he takes care of business with a big excting scream when he is done. Now going poop in the potty is a bit different. Basically we have spent time in the bathroom and just hope that he does that. Although we do think he knows when he has to go and now is holding it. Pretty much he is on an every other day schedule with this. Last week, I spent several evenings in the bathroom with Alex coloring, reading, playing with cars all in hopes that we would have results. As promised by my Mom (Ga Ga) we went to Chuck E Cheese on Sunday to celebrate Alex's accomplishments. He had a great time!! And he even stopped playing to go pee pee. I am so proud of him.

The whole family went to Chuck E Cheese. I swear I think Carlos has as much fun as Marisa and Alex. Just a minute ago while typing this Alex came up to me and said "pee pee time" He is such a big boy now!!
