I have to say that this was much easier than I had anticipated it to be. I have heard that boys were harder to potty train than girls, but I think he was easier to potty train than his sister was. I also had to throw in the fact that he is diabetic and has to go more often.
I do have to say that I used bribery. There was no food involved in this, just charts and the promise that after a month of going potty we would go to his favorite place to bowl, Fat Cats. I told him that we could go bowling there again when he went potty. Well the next day he started going potty. We had no accidents whatsoever, well just the ones caused by mom and dad not getting him to the potty fast enough. He was devistated when he had those accidents. He does still wear a diaper at night to sleep in only because he can't make it through the night staying dry and I got tired of getting up every hour in the night to take him potty. I know the night time part of it will come in time but I am not sweating it right now. He makes it through the day and that is what matters to me.
It is really nice to have him potty trained because instead of going through 200 diapers a month. I am now on the 4th month of those 200 diapers. We had just bought another case of diapers at Sam's Club when he decided to go potty. It sure has saved me money not having to buy a case every month. Now I will just buy a package at a time since he only uses one to two diapers in the night.
Kaden goes in again on the 27th for his regular check up to get his A1C checked. Hopefully everything is good there. It is something I always worry about as the time gets closer. I will try and get back to write about this upcoming appointment and how it went.
