We Did It!!

Last month we achieved something really wonderful here in our house. I potty trained Grant!! He is a strong-willed little guy and resisted for a while but I picked a day, literally marked the calendar, threw away the diapers, and never looked back.

 

I stocked up on an assortment of flavorful drinks and salty snacks.

 

 

I spent weeks reading, preparing, and talking with other moms.

 

 

And it was a lot of work but it actually went smoothly. (And yes it really only took 1 day.)

 

We had all sorts of awards for successful pottying including stickers on the sticker chart, a present out of the treasure chest (each less than a dollar), and short kid videos on the ipad.

 

And the grand prize was the beloved Mack truck that Grant has been asking for for over a year now.  

This feels so good to be done with diapers (at least for 1 of the boys)! Grant has some serious bladder capacity and stays dry all through naps and all through nightime (he doesn't wear diapers for anything). He is growing up and even got to go on the father's and sons campout with daddy (went potty at 7pm and didn't go again until 7am). Woo hoo. What a big boy we have here!!
