Potty Training is finally catching on and it has been a whole week since Forrest Jr. had an accident. He is even wearing big boy underware for naps, and he wakes up dry in the mornings. I can't tell you what a relief this is to know that I won't have two in diapers...not to mention the money we will save :) So what caused this great break through? I would like to say that it was our excellent parenting skills, but in reality like most parents probably do we resorted to a sticker chart and bribery. Thanks to all the candy that Grandpa sent we had plenty of sour patch kids to bribe him with. This last week of potty training has come with some great laughs. I got the biggest laugh when I was trying to put on the plastic underware that go over his real underware and keep in the moisture encase of an accident. He absolutely hates them and I was only using them when we had to go in the car. Well on Tuesday I tried to put these on him and he down right refused. He waved his arms at me while crying and backing away then he told me that He'd go crazy if I put them on him. I couldn't help but laugh and needless to say I don't want my two year to go crazy so he hasn't had to ware them since...and it looks like he didn't need them anyway. We have had many successful trips in the car.
Eating his favorite Dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. He has to growl like a dinosaur when he eats them too.
Nothing like getting your hands messy.
Thank God for Crayola and washable paints.
P.S. No need to leave any comments about how kids tend to revert on there portty training after babies are born. I know...I know...I know. It will always be a mystery to me that when people are talking to a great big pregnant woman about anything to do with pregnancy and child rearing that have to tell you about the worst case scenario that could possibly happen. Like "I was schedule for and emergency C-section and the doctor accidentally performed a lobotomy on me instead". Or, "oh this is your second baby, you are going to be so tired" Like wow, do you think I am not already tired caring around this extra 20 pounds and getting up a million times a night to pee.
So far I have refrained from saying anything regrettable but there are no guarantees of what I will say to someone if I happen to go overdue. So please pray I go into labor soon. LOL.

Thanks Mary. I am not upset about the potty training comment I just think its funny how many people have pointed it out. Thought I would save someone else the time. LOL. Hopefully it sticks with him or I will have to bring out the evil plastic underware. Don't worry I am saving them for when you have kids...or if mom or dad happen to regress i will send them to you.
