The Adventures of Potty-Training, and How I Lived to Tell About It

Will had been showing signs of being ready to potty-train for the last few months, but let's just say I was not ready...at least with the stage Graham was at the time.

We finally took the plunge and declared a potty-training
bootcamp the weekend of February 20th. We really only had a few accidents the first couple days, and he has done outstanding ever since. It didn't take Will long to be fully potty, potty-trained...I say it that way because he's got the potty part down 100%, but we're still working on the other ;-) All in good time, I say.

I'm sure he'll absolutely love this post when he gets older (I know, so embarrassing, right?!), but it's a milestone, so I have to post it! M&M's were our reward of choice...those candy-covered chocolates worked wonders in the progress department :)

Just a few photos to document this big life event...way to go, buddy!

The potty









We filled this box with wrapped gifts that we referred to as "poopy presents." Every time he went poopy in the potty he could open a present. Let's just say there's a lot left in that box.










And here he is painting one of his poopy presents :)

Wow...you are good! We didn't do anything as cool as that for Ben when he was potty training...maybe that was why it took so long?! Glad you have that behind you and glad to get an update from your house!! :)
