My boy's a champ!

My last entry I was excited for the possiblities of potty training, though not very opptimisic of how it would all turn out. I was ready for the accidents throughout the day, and night but to my complete satisfaction, my little boy--excuse me, my big kid is potty trained! Luke has not had ONE accident since the last entry and and successfully number two'd all by himself! I am amazed. That little stink has been holding out on me probably for months now. He even woke me up in the wee hours of the morn (3 a.m.) to inform me he went pee-pee in the toilet! That deserved the pee-pee song and dance. It goes something like this: "Pee-pee in the pot-tay, pee-pee in the pot-tay, pee-pee in the pot-tay YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!" And you must do a conga-line type dance while singing. He is filling that potty chart up with stickers and filling his belly with potty time treats. Good job son, a job well done!

Pee-Pee in the potty...FINALLY!

Luke turned 3 in March and I have been hoping that he would just kind of potty train himself...no luck. So last Saturday, Mia and Luke had a sleep over at Nana Bighouse's--(Beau's parents house) and we forgot to bring Mia some undies so Nana went to Walmart and bought her some, and when she came back and presented them to Meemers, Lukey-boy got very upset that he didn't get any and so Nana told Luke that if he went pee-pee in the potty that he could get some big-boy undies too. And wouldn't ya know he went, not once but twice! So I kept it going after hearing that spectacular news and he went for me too! A few times in the potty, a few times on the carpet, wood floor, and yes, even my kitchen counter to which Brooke (my niece) promptly came running to me yelling "Luke peeped!" After disinfecting my household and doing many loads of laundry we will continue to press forward--without anger or frustration of the next days, weeks and hopefully not months to come. For I desperately want this child in pre-school this coming school year for both of our sakes. So, if any of you who have gone through such trials as these, please comment of what worked, what didn't and what you would do different.

Side note: We do have a potty chart and he gets to put stickers on it everytime he successfully goes, and we have treaters for him.
