We have a potty trainer!!

After a fluke incident this morning we now have a full time potty trainer at least at home for now.
Yep, he woke up this morning with a DRY diaper! So as we were getting ready to take a shower this morning I took off his diaper and as soon as I did he started to go a little. I immediately picked him up and set him on the toilet. I said go potty on the toilet and I'll go get you a new toy today and a treat!
He loved the sound of the words treat and toy so lo and behold he went not once but 3 times in about 15 minutes! We then went to PIU with our friends where I put him back in a diaper and he did go potty in the diaper. However, it's a work in progress and I'm not pushing him. We got back home after lunch and he took a nap and woke up and we took his diaper off again and ever since he's been going all afternoon/evening on the potty!
He's so proud of himself and so are his mom and dad!! Maybe this is the end of our 40.00 every 2-3 weeks on diapers and another 15.00 on wipes!!! Man I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will continue to update on our progress!! Oh yea, btw, the toy he picked out was Jessie from Toy Story 3, it's one of the last two that he really didn't have, it was either her or bullseye. I thought it was cute, he's been catering to her all afternoon.

  1. Very big boy, that Jackson is! The light at the end of the tunnel is very bright, and so much cheaper and easier! Of course, little boys always play hard and will sometimes forget to listen to their bodies and take care of business before it's too late, but sounds like he has made a giant leap!
