This is what we have been doing for the last 2 weeks. Let me give you a little background. About 3 weeks ago Carson was scared of the potty. If you made him sit on it he would scream and cry and refuse and tell you he loved his diaper. My mother and I started googling "afraid of the potty" and found a ton of cases where this fear of the potty followed kids into grade school and teenager years. At this point I said we are getting him on the potty no matter what next week and it happened.
First we moved the potty to a central part of the house and let Carson go without a diaper. Yes there were a few wet accidents, but nothing major.
That is Carson playing with his game waiting to tell mommy "it's coming!"
After he started getting good and letting us know he was ready to go potty and running to it we got to go pick out some undies!! He choose a mixture of Diego, spongebob, and wonder pets. Dad was very happy to get out of the naked stage because Carson still liked to jump on Dad and he found it a little awkward :)
This picture just makes me think typical male!

And lastly the sweet sweet rewards of finally telling mommy he needs to go potty and actually doing it in a public restroom!
Seriously people, I thought this day might never come! Are we completely potty trained?? Heck no! But he will be by age 3 and that makes this mommy super excited :)
Yay! I'm so excited for him! But mostly for you :)
