The Potty Training Chronicles

Potty training. I don't even know what to say.Last week, Isaiah decided it was time. That was key for us: child led.He had fought us for MONTHS on this matter. He acted as if the toilet was going to swallow him.I get it. It's a big bowl to a little dude. So we waited. But when he said "potty now"I was all over that like gum in toddler hair.
Day 1:Not ONE accident. We even took a short trip to Home Depot and he asked to use the potty.I'm thinking: "I don't know why parents make such a big deal about this!"This rookie idea is embarrassing now. I know nothing.
Day 2:He FREAKED OUT when he woke up from a night's sleep with a wet diaper.Very discouraged 2 year old. I coaxed him into some big boy pants and we had one accident.In other news, JUDAH fell in the toilet. I don't even know what to say about that. It was funny?!I'm a terrible mother.
Day 3:There were lots of accidents. I blocked this day from my memory.
Day 4:Me: "Isaiah, why did you poop in your pants? You were doing so well.Does momma poop her pants?! (stupid question)Isaiah: "Yeeeea!!!"
Day 5:We have a routine down. Isaiah pees and gets 3 M&Ms... and Judah gets 3 for the moral support.I get 10 because I'm the personal trainer and I said so.Not sure when to cut off the M&M reward mobile. I think I'll keep it up until I feellike I am properly repaid in chocolate for this life skill I am teaching my son.
Potty training is fun *insert fake smile*. Is it over yet?Any tips or tricks you seasoned ponies have for this young whipper snapper?
On a very sincere and slightly melancholy note: HOW CUTE IS THIS LITTLE BUM?!I will always love you, Zay. Even when you pee on "Thomas".
