Grant has decided to use the potty. He doesn't like the big potty but he really likes his little potty. He's been using it on and off for a couple of weeks, including while in Colorado which is a huge accomplishment in my eyes. Yesterday we hit the gold mine...poop in the potty! It actually started with poop on the grass but in the end, poop in the potty was accomplished. Today, as promised, he got to pick out big boy underpants of his very own. (He looks like he might be trying to poop in this picture!)
I might write a book on how to potty train boys:
1) Put out a little potty.
2) Tell your child the little potty is there.
3) Let them use it when they want.
(Maybe it would be better off as a pamphlet.)
This was much easier than the year of trying to force Max to use it. I like Dr. Phil but his so called potty-train-in-a-day method is a bunch of crap. All it did was cost a lot of money for the peeing doll and party supplies.
Go Grant Go! (For those of you unfamiliar with Diego, that was in reference to his new Diego underpants. Whitney and Jenny Beth will know.)

Okay I am so jealous...CONGRATULATIONS! Maybe I can show this to Ben and it will motivate him. BTW...I blogged an experience this morning I think you could appreciate. Hope you are having a good week!
it may have been short lived. today he didn't even want to put on any underpants and said, "i already pooped in the potty." i guess he didn't realize it was an ongoing experience.
Thatta boy...he thinks, "Mom, that was so yesterday." Oh you make me laugh. And re: the mouse I just left it and tried to pretend it wasn't back there all day.
