Potty Training Interupted

Nolan has been potty training for about the last month. He started out really well. I bought him some fun cloth training pants (I had to take a picture the first time I ran them through the laundry, it was monumental in my head somehow) and after a few days of accidents he was staying dry.

We had quite the routine down and he seemed to enjoy it. He sits on the potty.

Go potty.

Wash hands.

Gets his big boy reward, 3 chocolate chips along with lots of hugs, high fives and sometimes a phone call to daddy for some extra praise. It was fun when he started yelling "chocolate chips!" when he would go pee. Super cute when we were at home, somewhat mortifying when we were in public restrooms.

I was about ready to call Nolan potty trained when we started having slip ups last week. He started having more accidents and acting out, which is not like him at all. I don't know if it was the switch from traditional diapers to the pull up kind (that we were stilling using at nighttime) or just that he grew tired of the process. Either way, I reluctantly backed off and have let him lead the way. He is now back in diapers during the day and going once or twice on the potty. I'm struggling to keep my cool on this one as we were doing so well! Hopefully in a week or two he will want his big boy underwear back on and we can start again, sigh!
