All Aboard the Potty Train- Day 1

Monday marked the official beginning of potty training Max. The day was a good start. My plan: get him to drink a lot of liquid (juice boxes are awesome), have cool underwear (Thomas the Train and Cars of course, duh), Hershey's Kisses and put him on the pot at regular intervals. The results: 6 accidents and around ten successes. We went through almost all of the characters in Cars by the end of the day. :-) We did have a Number 2 accident as well. I think that one is going to be the biggest challenge. However, I did take him to the bank with me while he was wearing underwear and it wasn't a problem at all. The day even ended with Max sort of telling me he needed to go. I am starting to understand that potty training is just as much about mom and dad learning how to pick up on the cues given by the kid and remembering to put them on the potty. Wish us luck!
