Exciting News!!

I've been holding off on blogging this week for one main reason(well, and the fact that I have been really tired this week), I was to afraid I would jinks myself. It happens all the time with kids, a parent says how great they have been sleeping through the night and that night they wake up on you. After all the praying and stress I had put on myself to get this done, I really didn't want it to backfire on me. So what is this exciting news that I'm just dragging out to tell you, N is pretty much almost potty trained!!! I am one happy, relieved, proud momma!

It all started Monday when he was dry the whole day at school from 8:30am when I changed him till well after 3pm when I picked him up from school. For months now we have tried to just get him to sit on the potty, which sometimes he does nicely, others well, it's not so pretty. So when we got home I kept sitting him on it til he wanted to get down then we would go back every 20mins or so. He also wanted to wear big boy underwear. He finally went and he got a Dinosaur.(Yes, I had gotten down to bribing, and I tried everything else; M&M's, gold fish, cars, this was the only thing that got him to at lest want to sit and try for). Tuesday he went to school with pull ups on did really good went on the potty at school once. Wednesday, the same, but told the teachers he had to go twice, though he had already gone in his pull up. Thursday, same. All these days he would come home and get on his big boy underwear. Thursday night, he wanted to wear his underwear to bed so after being dry the whole night before, we gambled and let him(after of course bringing the little potty into his room and making sure he knew it was there). We was dry the whole night!!! And it was a long night he went to bed at 8pm and didn't get up til 9:30am(we missed school cuz of this). Friday, he got to wear his underwear all day, only had 2 accidents, and was again dry the whole night. Today........we have been having him tell us when he as to go, otherwise all you hear him say is "No pee in potty!" over and over cuz he doesn't think he has to go. He made it once to the potty(just barely) and two other times where he was trying to get to the potty and started to go. Not bad if you ask me. Needless to say for the next two days we'll be "camped" out at the house, letting N get more comfortable with the whole thing, and come Tuesday he'll be going to school like a big boy!! I'm just so proud!!
