Rustin tries to pull up his underware by himself and sometimes just cant figure out how to get them over his bum. He is getting better every time he tries.
Now let me just tell you this has not been all peaches and cream. The first day we never had any successes and about 5 accidents. The second day was a little better with only 1 accident in the morning, but he would not go until about 3 pm. We went and had lunch with Nana, Mal, Grandma Vickie and Aunt Sid. I told him that if he didn't pee in his underware that we would go to the store and buy him a toy for staying dry. We got home and he still didnt want to go on the potty and it had been about 3 hours. I knew that he had to go so I made him sit on the potty and had to tell him that if he didnt let his pee out that I had to take his toy back to the store. It worked! He finally went pee and got to go flush it and thought that was so great that he did it 5 more times in a row... so i know he has bladder control! He sleeps through the night with no accidents- Which I love! Then on the 3rd day he didnt want to sit on the potty. I was really discouraged because he had been going so good the afternoon before. Needless to day I didnt give up and on the 4th day he finally came and got me and told me that he needed to go. Hooray! Today he is doing so good, and we haven't had anymore accidents. But I still have one problem. We have mastered going pee on the potty but he still wont go poop on the potty. He knows he has to go and holds his bum and runs around until he can hold it in for a while longer. Then he goes about playing and then the urge comes back and then he does this all over again. He doesnt want to poop in his underware- but after a while he gives up and hides in the corner and goes poop. I hope this will happen soon- I really dont know what to try.

Hey it was good to talk with you on Sunday, sorry for distracting you though! haha. Andrew had the same problem with the pooping thing and it took about a week of me just watching him very closely and making him sit on the toilet while I read book after book, then he would finally go #2 and I would jump up and down excited for him. He was still scared though and it took about two more weeks for him to now go by himself. (well without me forcing him) He doesn't mind it now though. We would just make him sit there for about twenty minutes when he started bouncing around like he needed to. It usually didn't take that long. I think it will be so nice for you when you have your baby to only have one in diapers!
