Potty Training: Day 2 / UPDATED

UPDATED: Not a bad day today. Mercer is good at home but seems to be struggling with telling Mom and Pop that he needs to pee when we're out. Maybe he's too excited to notice. We've had 2 dry naps and one dry overnight, but three accidents out: once at Target, once at Toys 'R Us, and once at Pizza Hut. That last one at Pizza Hut was a bad one. Besides being at Pizza Hut, Mommy had just put Mercer on the toilet not a minute earlier when Mercer said he didn't have to go. Then, we're ready to leave and then boom, wet pants, shoes, and socks. But Mercer rallied later in the night and even let Daddy know when he had to go. Good job, Mercer.

--------------------------

It was a rough morning yesterday, but the afternoon shaped up a little better. With promises of going to the store, Mercer hopped right onto the toilet for Daddy and went a little bit. We had an accident at the store, but that's to be expected. Coincidentally, Mercer had the accident as we were shopping for his new underwear.

The more exciting news is that Mercer slept through the night without any problems. Mom and Pop fretted all night for no reason. We know that's not going to happen every night, but it's a great start. Mercer is such a good kid and a quick learner. Good job, buddy.

(He would reply: "I'm not a buddy. I'm Mercer.")

Stay tuned for updates.
