Attempting to......

**UPDATE ON BOTTOM**
do what always seems so impossible....and that is potty train!!! He went on the big boy potty for the first time on Sunday morning before church and sunday after church. Then today(monday) we had to travel to lafayette so he wore a diaper most of the day. Then after his nap around 5pm we stuck on underwear. He was very excited and he was constantly sitting on the potty to try and squeeze out some pee. Why you ask would he be that excited??? You see I have a large ziplock baggie of tootsie rolls sitting by his potty chair and anytime he goes even a little I reward him with it. I know, I know...bad for the teeth, but hey, its working. I think he went a total of 6 times tonight and even a couple times outside in the grass:). He did however have two accidents in his underwear as well, but that is to be expected. His tiny little rear with "Mater" on it.

And happy to show you his front side too:).
I'll keep you posted as to how well this goes. I tried back when he had just turned two and gave up after two days. It was a disaster. Now that he is over 2.5 I figure we need to get this done:).


**He continue's to pee on the potty with an occasional accident. He had one accident today and that was the first accident since Wednesday, so he is doing really well. Last night we had to be up at the school for something and Liam cried when I told him we were going bye bye and he needed to put on a diaper, so I decided to leave him in his underpants....he went potty when we arrived at the school, after we were done eating at the school, and then right before we left to come home...and he did awesome!! No accidents!!! Yeah, this is going along so smoothly!! Im glad I waited till he was over 2.5 years old to do this because it hasn't been a huge deal at all. The ONLY bad thing is, is that he has yet to go #2 on the potty and he waits till it is bedtime and he has his diaper on to do that duty.**
