Yesterday we switched Charlie into underwear for the time he was awake. This picture just about sums up the first day. Too many wet spots on the carpet to count, one success---7 pairs of underwear, two shirts, a pair of my pants and lots and lots of vinegar smelling rags!!! It is totally what I was told to expect…but still I think its only fair to admit that there was a little bit of hope in this Mama’s heart that I wouldn’t spend these first few days scrubbing the carpet and sitting on the tub edge for hours on end.We are well into our second day, with not much better luck. Charlie happily sits on the potty, (without doing anything) and just as happily wets his underwear a few seconds after I take him off the potty. I, on the other hand am starting to wish we had maid service and cable TV in the bathroom! I’ve been told it can take a couple days for it to sink in. We will see! Keep us in your prayers!

Hang in there - you're right - the first few days can be stressful and it involves lots of undies but eventually they get the hang of it - you can and Charlie can do it!!! =0)
Get a stool under his feet, one that his feet can rest flat on. It is physiologically much more difficult to relax the muscles at the bottom of your body wall when your feet are dangling (even for adults, try it!).
Good luck!
