Potty trained....Hallelujiah!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, we had been putting off potty training, mainly because I had no idea where to begin. I kept thinking of ways to try it, and I didn't know if they weren't working, or if Drew just wasn't ready. Drew knows about the potty and has gone on it some, but never consistantly. This past Monday I decided we needed to take the plunge, so I put him in big boy underwear and guess what??? that was it! He had 3 or 4 accidents on Monday, and a few each day after that, but for the most part he tells me when he needs to go. I don't even have to keep asking him. I'm thrilled! (although I've been told we may do good and then have set backs, but fingers crossed that won't be us). We went to Target and I let HIM him pick out some fun underwear (Diego), and then I picked out some fun underwear for him that I like (boxer briefs). He's gone several places now with his underwear on and done really well. This weekend we had a "potty party" at Chuckie Cheese with Andy, Knox, Drew, Gigi, Papa, and I. We also got him a cookie slice from the mall and sang him "Happy Potty Trained to you...." It's been a great celebration at our house! Prizes from Chuckie Cheese sitting in front of the potty

We had 48 tickets and we needed 60 for the prize Drew wanted (a cheap plastic roach), so Andy played a game like slots. He got 2 tickets, then 4, then he hit the jack pot and got 75. Needless to say that moved up our prize options. Way to go Daddy!
