Potty Training 1.0

So, I think it is safe to blog about this topic now. We have been officially potty training Owen for 28 days and we are happy to report four accident free days in a row with both pooh and pee going in the potty! Not to mention, Owen is now asking to go potty (whereas before we had to tell him and/or take him (kicking and screaming sometimes) to go). Another major milestone!!!
He loves to keep his Thomas and Sesame Street big boy undies clean and dry. And most of all...he loves for everyone to be SO PROUD of him!

We're not ashamed to say that we have used some bribes. Sticker charts were a hit at first. As that died off, we reverted to M&Ms or Skittles. And then two weekends ago, we told him he could have a Thomas train if he went pooh in the potty. That night he did it! We learned a valuable lesson too...have the prize in the house if it is promised! It is VERY hard to explain to a two year old that we have to go to the store in the morning to get it. Oops. I think we are forgiven now though.

It is nice to only have one in diapers. :)
