Diaper FREE!!!

Last Monday James stayed home from school with a little fever. Since we were going to stay home all day and I told myself after the first of the year I would start potty training Jake, I thought why don't I start today! We don't have anything going on all week! So unprepared, I started! I put on pair of training underwear and he immediately had two accidents. So I had heard that if you completely leave them naked they understand it more. That is what I did. He stayed naked the rest of the day and he would start to pee a bit and stop himself! He would tell me and then go on the potty! 
I had a little help from these...
I left the underwear off until Tuesday afternoon when he decided to take a dump on the floor and then proceed to step in it!  I think that was enough time though for the underwear to be off, he got it. He is a very regular kid that goes about 3 times a day! Since potty training he, I think has been holding it, because he is only going once a day! It just took until Thursday for him to start telling me every time he has to go potty! YAY! We were tested on Sunday when we had to go to church, he made it through and a Birthday party later, he held it for hours because he wouldn't go on their potty! At least I know he can hold it!
 So we are diaper FREE in this house! And I couldn't be happier! No more messy, stinky diapers!
Although something about it does make me a tad bit sad that my baby is growing up, or as James would say, "He is a big boy now!"
