On Friday, March 11, we celebrated Matteo’s birthday. He was fortunate this year; his birthday fell on a weekday. Our family-only tradition has been to celebrate weekday birthdays at Fenton’s Creamery. This year, Grandma Johnie, David and Aunt Jessica joined the festivities. As usual, we had a great time – the calm before the storm! …
I am not sure if we are jinxing ourselves by starting the diary this soon, but today Matteo said, “pee-pee”, which honestly I wasn’t sure if that meant he had to go to the potty. We haven’t really been taking him regularly; on occasion, we sit him down on the toilet, usually at bath time. …
Did I say victim? I meant candidate. With Christopher fully potty trained except for night-time diapers, we won’t start training Matteo for some time; however, it is nice to see that he has an affinity for sittin’ on the pot.

Christopher wears underwear every day. He has accidents occasionally, but for the most part goes potty on the toilet. We are …
Christopher has taken to the toilet like a king to his throne. Though we go potty a dozen or more times daily – mostly at my urging – we have one or two accidents. Not bad…for a beginner. Since Sunday, he has worn underwear EVERY day with the exception of naps and bedtime. When do …
Today’s results – Successes: 12 Accidents: 2 Goal: diaper-free toddler by week’s end.
I knew the second I posted our first blog today, Christopher would prove me wrong. Accidents: 4 (three of these occurred within one hour of posting!) Successes: 8
We just had another accident. I think he was more surprised than I. Accidents: 2 Successes: 5
Christopher goes potty on the toilet several times daily. This is nothing new for him. What is new: we bought some new chonies (aka underwear), though, to supplement the three pair he previously had. The goal: wear chonies all day even with the threat of accidents. Results: Christopher wore chonies half-day yesterday with no accidents. …
