Potty Training

This morning I decided it was finally time to start potty training Jonah. For the past few weeks anytime we use the restroom Jonah is in there sitting on his potty. He wouldn't actually go potty, he just wanted to sit there with us. So I decided to make him sit on his potty today until he went. I have a feeling that once he does it he would want to do it all the time. So I gave him a cup of juice (he had already had two cups of milk) and brought in all his books and we sat there for over an hour. I just knew that the second I let him get up and put his undies back on he would pee everywhere. He finally got tired of reading books so I put his chair in the living room and let him watch Thomas. After a little while he yelled "mommy I did it!" Sure enough he had peed a tiny bit, so I made him sit there for a few more minutes until he had finished. He was so proud of himself and so excited that he peed in his potty. He went all day with one tiny accident, (he started peeing in his underwear but stopped himself and then told me so we put him on the potty and he finished) but didn't pee on the floor or furniture so that was a huge plus. By the end of the day he was telling me when he had to go. I know it is only the first day so who knows how he will do tomorrow, but hopefully today was a good sign.
