Potty Training Day 1

So, today was day #1 of potty training. The day started out great. Jacob got to choose which pair of big boy underwear to wear and also chose which pair winnie the pooh would wear. We had a juice party with pooh and then Pooh "told us" he had to go potty. We took him to the potty and he went, we clapped and cheered for Pooh and then proceeded to give Pooh 2 skittles for going to the potty. Jacob thought that this was great! Then it was time for Jacob to sit on the potty and here's what happened....

So, then we decided to have a popcorn party (salty snacks were recommended for potty training so that he'd be thirsty and drink more which would therefore make him have to pee more which would provide more chances for practicing ). I also told Jacob he could watch a DVD (also a recommendation so that he'd sit for longer than 3 seconds). This made potty training sound even better. So here's he is... LOL!
After many accidents, he finally went! It was so exciting and cute to see how proud of himself he was! He kept saying, "I did it!" So here he is getting his treat...

All in all, it was a pretty good day. He had about 12 accidents and 3 successes! We're going to work at it again tomorrow so hopefully it will be a good day!
