Potty Training my 2 year old!

Ecstatic, nervous and slightly apprehensive are the words that come to mind when I think about these next 3 days. Tomorrow is the day, Greyson is being potty trained. 

I've been actively preparing for the last month, both mentally and physically, as this is going to be my first go at this and I'm crossing my fingers, toes and everything else I can possibly cross in the hopes all goes well! My designated words are set, chart is made, training toilet has been present for months, fun underwear is purchased ( Greyson decided he wanted ALL the underwear packs I showed him verses what I had planned to buy...I guess "puppies" (Paw Patrol), "choo choo trains" (Thomas the Train) and "cars" (He actually got this one spot on, Cars it is...) are just too exciting to turn down!) So we now have more toddler underwear than I know what to do with, but they are washed and ready to go. My fun filled activities are set for the next 3 days in order to avoid the horrifying terrible 2 tantrum to emerge when he's pissed that he's having to stay inside for multiple days. I've got sponge blocks, bubbles galore, puzzles, paint projects with his new easle, a fun movie, play-doh making and more! Thankfully we have a roomy back yard with plenty of outdoor activities so that's also going to be a lifesaver.

I've read this highly recommended book "Potty Training" (They really nailed that title on the head didn't they) - cover to cover, highlighted and now placed it in an easy to grab spot when things go awry. My hope is that Greyson will wake up Friday morning ready to master this little thing called potty training and it won't be nothin' but a thang' but we shall see... In all honestly, he really is insanely smart and picks up things far quicker that I'd ever expect a 2 year old to do. Lee and I have been told many times he acts older than he is, so with that said I think he's going to take the toilet by the horns and own it! My genius 2 year old, please please own it...

So wish us luck as we go through our 3 day potty training journey. By Monday one of my babies will be taking another step to independence and I could cry. Yet, running around my house in pure excitement is also highly probable. I hope to be a pro potty trainer at the end of these 3 days and who knows maybe I'll have my other genius child, Jaxon, potty trained right at 2 years old! Then it will be time for a 3rd child as I feel like I can't imagine not changing diapers everyday, so that's a reason for a 3rd right? haha.

Looking forward to updating you all! 

Love,
