Potty Training: The Update


Am I going to jinx myself by saying it's 99% done?


The only issue is that he doesn't quite like going #2 in the toilet. Here are the facts:


*He prefers pull ups over regular underwear. Hmmm... how to convince him that cotton little boy underpants with Cars, or Superman, or Kung Fu Panda are the way to go...

*He stays dry during naps AND at night!

*He gets really annoyed when I ask him fifty thousand times if his "tank is full" and then occasionally drag him into the bathroom to "try to empty his tank". Why can't I just let go and allow him to tell me when he has to go? He has proven that he can do that, so I just need to shut the heck up and leave the kid alone.

*He gets a kick out of standing on his stool and peeing into the toilet from that height. We could really use a urinal around here.

*He got about 7 monster trucks and a large bag of m&ms for his efforts over the past week and a half.

*If only we could convince him to go #2 in the toilet. Any ideas?

*Aside from going #2 in his pull up, he hasn't had any accidents in about a week.

*He even went potty at church on Sunday!


We're so proud of him!
