Successes!!!

Warning: this is a potty post... :)

This is the potty-training update I was hoping to do and it's coming true... Ben has kept his Pull-Ups dry for a day and a half now and that is including last night!!! YAY!! We ended up doing the Pull-Up thing because he has more fear of making the little cars in the front disappear if he pees on them then of peeing in underwear or on the floor - go figure, wouldn't you think the later would be more traumatic?? Anywho, I am so happy with his progress!! I must say that I think a turning point was yesterday. Ben had a little playdate with Eli over at Christina's and actually went in Eli's cool musical potty-chair. Then sweet Christina had a "potty parade" for Ben, picking him up and marching him around her house singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and letting him pick a treat from Eli's special potty treat jar. I think it worked like a charm! Christina, you are a good friend for getting so excited for Ben's success and helping out the potty situation immensely! Ever since that potty parade Ben has gone in the potty! We've been having lots of rounds of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"! It has just been #1's, but I'm not going to worry about the #2's right now - I'm fine with letting him go in the Pull-Up and changing it after, I'm sure that will come in time. (Man, is that just a little too much detail for all of you not in the middle of potty training?? I feel like potty talk has taken over my whole vocabulary at the moment. Sorry.)

So we still have lots to work on, switching over to underwear and making sure Ben tells us when he has to go (he has a couple of times now)... But I am happy with the progress and hopeful it will continue. Yay!
