My Potty Woes

Well the hubby and I decided after we got back from our travels to the NW for the holidays we would consider taking a more active part in potty training S (meaning being serious about it). That meant for me getting over the fact I didn't want to deal with the messes that accidents bring. I realized that no matter when I did it I would have accidents so I just needed to get over it. Over the holiday we got a big box of daipers from one of my favorite places for many things (Costco), and it will hopefully be our last for S. So on Monday, I got out the underwear and put them to use. Day one, 2 wet pairs of underwear, not as big of messes as I expected. Day two, yet again 2 wet pairs of undies. It's usually the two times he goes to the bathroom after the switcheroo in the morning from diapers to underwear. So hopefully him just remembering he has them on. Day three, only one pair of underwear we had to change, but the worst so far. I was finishing unpacking from the trip and couldn't a couple of pairs of new socks B got. I'm the type of person I'll tear everything apart again and again until I find it. I can't sleep until it's found. Well I eventually gave up and think I left them at my parents house or they are lost somewhere not in the house. Well by the time I went to go check on S, needless to say he filled his underwear. I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with that, but I course I did. Wet underwear is one thing, but the other, just makes me sick. Well now it's day 4, we are on the same pair of underwear we started the off the day with!!!! Hooray!!!!! No accidents and it's 4:30 in the afternoon. We are still working on him telling us when he has to go, for know it's just us telling him when to go. One of these days he'll tell me yes when I ask him if he needs to go potty. I guess it's just another day in the life of a mother with young kids.
