Potty Training!

We've been thinking about potty training Matthew for a few weeks now but i wasn't sure whether he was ready or not. We made the mistake with trying to train James a little to early which back fired on us so i didn't want to make the same mistake twice. 

Then Matthew started telling me when he had done a wee or a poo, and he didn't want to sit down while wet so i knew then that we needed to get ready, so i went out to get the essentials,

1. A potty
2. Lots and lots of underpants
3. Pull ups for nap/bedtime
4. Kids toilet seat
5. Step for in the bathroom

I let him help me choose which underpants and potty he wanted, i wanted him to be excited that he was going to be a big boy so he choose Spiderman and sharks.

That night i read him a potty training story and talked to him about no more nappies, then the next morning i put the potty out and let him run round with no pants on and he did his first wee on the potty. He was so excited and i was very proud of him. Its now day 3 and we have had only one accident, I just keep reminding him to go for a wee and he's been great. I'm so glad its been quite easy so far but we have the underpants stage next so i guess we will just have to see how it goes!

Id love to hear any tips and tricks any of you have.
