Potty-Training

There were two major things I wanted to tackle before the new baby comes in December. First was getting D into a big boy bed and second was potty-training. The big boy bed was an easy transition and Denver has been doing awesome in there. I would say he is sleeping better than he did in the last couple months of his crib. It's great. I will get a picture posted later of the way he tucks all of his "friends" into bed with him before he lays down. It is the cutest stinking thing ever! If his tenderness with his animals is any indication of how he will be with his new baby brother or sister it makes me even more excited for having our new one!

So a few weeks ago it was time to work on potty-training! I chose a week where I knew we'd be home and didn't have a lot going on so it could be our main focus. I have to say I think we caught him at the exact right time because honestly he pretty much trained himself. By mid-morning he was running in the bathroom when he had to go without me even prompting him. It was hardly even reward-motivated. He has definitely had accidents on and off but after about two days he is good to go now. It's so freeing not to have to change diapers all day, especially poopy ones and have him take care of business in the potty! So proud of this little guy! I can't believe how grown up he looks in his big boy underwear! Oh my word I still can't believe he's nearing in on 2 1/2!!!!!

Buddy Bear was excited to get his underwear on, too!

Steve's ipod touch is a great way to get him to stay on the potty for awhile. We put Baby Noah on there and he loves it

TA-DA I did it mom!
