Potty Training

Oh my. Deciding to potty train the weekend that Max went to Virginia may not have been my best idea...but I'm glad we did it.  The rough part was being cooped up for a few days with no other adults around, and having to be the only one making him try to go pee....he needed to hear it from someone else.
We went cold turkey and did the naked butt experience for the first day and a half.  Three weeks later, he's done a very nice job.  He was pumped about all of our sticker charts (one for when he tried to sit and go, and one for when he actually went) and his 2 m&m's whenever he actually peed. Thankfully we've finally weaned him off the m&m's...we went through a lot...and his favorite color are the brown ones...random!
We have had minimal accidents (although he pooped his pants twice yesterday while Max was watching him! Lucky dad!) and has finally started telling us when he has to go the past few days. Today we went to get our Christmas tree and he even made it through the tree farm and lunch afterwards without going in his pull up!  We're definitely getting there. Now I just have to remember that he needs bathroom breaks when we're out!

Sticker charts...clearly I'm a teacher-you shoulda seen the array of stickers we had to choose from!

He is definitely most in love with his Mater underwear

 Who woulda thunk that potty training=underwear on head excitement?!?! #imoutnumberedbyboys
