The ugly stats:
Pee-pees in potty: 0
Poops in potty: 0
Pee-pees in big boy underwear: 2
Poops in big boy underwear: 1
Number of times he screamed when we made him go anywhere near the potty, like it made his cheeks sizzle or something: every thirty minutes since 9:00 this morning.
I DO NOT know what is up with that last one. He's been sitting on the potty on and off since I bought him the little potty seat a couple of months ago. I bought him one of those seats that you can use on the floor with the little cup or take off the top and put it on a regular potty. I think he just doesn't want to be there because he feels he has better things to do, but we're forcing the issue and that's SO not cool, Mommy and Daddy. Interestingly enough, we put him in a Pull-up for his nap this afternoon and it was dry when he woke up!! The cars didn't disappear or anything! So I know he's ready; it's just convincing him to make the effort. Pray for us that Day 2 goes better!!

Day One was like that with Avery, too. She even peed ON the potty but never in it! It was frustrating to say the least, but she stayed dry at nap time, too, and I knew she was ready. It'll get better, just stick with it! You're doing great! :)
Erin-
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I actually thought about you all day yesterday, thinking "O.K., this is pretty much what happened with Avery on the first day and then it just got better from there." So I hope it does!!
And didn't it take Avery just a week? Same with Coley. Didn't take long at all, after you get past the initial shock.
How about putting the potty in front of the tv? Worked for Coley!
Lisa-
Dude. You'll never believe it. We actually put the portable DVD player in the bathroom for him to watch while he sat, and it didn't work!! Can you believe that about my TV child? Finally, the only thing that would get him to sit for five minutes was us reading books to him. So, blessedly, we found something that worked, but definitely not what we expected!!
