potty training?

So we started potty training a little while ago, and it's been going...well interesting i guess :)  I've discovered that Kaleb could care less about feeling wet, he would sit in wet undies all day if i let him!  Well, not quite undies, I got him some cloth training 'undies' but they are pretty bulky, more like a diaper.  They aren't very absorbent though, so I know he can feel when he's wet from peeing his pants....he just doesn't mind i guess.  I really like tho them because they don't leak like regular undies, we'll probably move to regular undies when he does better.  The naked approach doesn't work for him either, he actually thinks it funny when he pees without any clothes on :\ Right now he does pretty good with numero 2, he likes going in the potty but probably just because I make a big deal when he does it :)  Rewards, excitement, treats, etc...it's cute because i can tell how excited he is when he goes in the toilet.  
I do feel like I'm spending most of my day constantly taking him to the bathroom, so it feels like a lot of work but I'm gonna keep chugging along since he is not resisting it.  He's super stubborn so I thought he would just reject the idea all together, but so far so good.  We have a long road until he's totally potty trained, that is for sure! And washing the cloth super undies isn't very fun, but I'm happy to be spending less on disposable diapers :)  Here is Kaleb hanging out on 'his potty'

oh and on a side note, I'm kinda glad we're living in a small apartment right now because every time I take Kaleb to the bathroom, Tenley disappears! Luckily there aren't very many places to look for her, especially since i've been keeping all the doors closed.  
This is one of her favorite spots, and it's nearly impossible for me to get to her when she crawls back there so I usually just wait for her to decide to come out :)

I love the picture of him on the potty! I have a pin on my Pinterest board on how to potty train your toddler in one day. Now that he's use to the idea and isn't resisting you should give it a looksie. I kinda want to know if it works before I try it on Easton ;D Lol Good luck girlie!

We are doing the same thing right now...I will post about it soon. I don't know what I was thinking but it's more work than I thought it would be. Awww that Tenley! She is so pretty!
