Making progress...

This week, we finally had a potty-training break through. We've been fairly successful at peeing in the potty for the past week & Jackson has even woken up in the AM completely dry the past several mornings. We've had accidents of course, but 9 out of 10 times, he'll stay dry.

Going #2 in the potty is a different story. After dirtying 2 pairs of big boy underwear out of pure stubbornness, Ben promised Jackson a "big party with presents" if he pooped in the potty. Still no luck. But when I showed him the Costco size pack of big boy Star Wars underwear that he didn't get to wear until he pooped in the potty, Pavlov's theory finally proved to be true. Post-nap, he rushed to the potty and strained his little heart out to produce the tiniest little poo I have ever seen. But poop is poop & he was so proud of himself and his new underwear.




(Weston was there for moral support and had a front row seat for all the action.)

Fast forward three days...no more pooping in the potty and several accidents on the Jedis. Despite the lure of new presents that he can easily acquire just by pooping in the potty, he is holding strong. But thankfully forward progress has been made so we are on the right track.
