All I can say is, YIPEE!!!


So I think the time has finally arrived, Carson is going to the bathroom in the potty! For those of you who weren't aware, I've been on this kid's case for MONTHS now trying to get him to use the big boy potty and he's refused. So Sunday night, we got him out of the bath and he was just hanging out in the nude with some blankets around him. I went in the other room to get something and then I heard, "Mom I pooped". I was nervous that I was going to find a little something on my carpet, but to my oh so pleasant surprise I found him on the pot. So Monday and Tuesday roll around and he wants to wear a diaper so I started to think that it was a one time thing. So last night the same thing happened, bath, blankets in the buff and poop. Carson continued going in and out of the bathroom until about 11:30 last night. Each time I think a few drops of pee came out he came running excitedly down the hall to tell us that he went in the toilet and wanted to put a sticker on his chart and get a gumball. Needless to say, he went again this morning and continued all day long. We were even out running errands like crazy today. I made sure I asked him at every stop and he did have to go a few times while we were out and I'm pleased to say that he's been accident free all day. Oh how I've waited and waited for this day to come! Hopefully the trend will continue tomorrow...

Yeah!! Even if he doesn't have perfect days, he is on the right track. I am glad he started before baby was born! Cute pic!

I'll bet that's such a releif. It's so nice when you don't have to change diapers anymore. Way to go Carson.

A great milestone and the start of being a really big, grown up boy.
Congratulations.

YAY!!! I figured one day he would just make up his mind to do it and he would! :) I like the pic of him sitting on it w/a magazine! lol

Okay, first of all, you need to submit that picture to Parenting Magazine. You had me laughing out loud. Second of all, congrats Carson. Third of all, enjoy your few weeks of being diaper free (changing them, that is!). Out with one and in with another!
