We had attempted it a few times before, but he just wasn't ready. Well, mommy was more than ready and so the day after we got home from our Utah trip the diaper wearing was O-V-E-R! We headed to the store and bought a timer, stickers, candy and a special train.
The timer was set for every 30 minutes and so the fun began. Really, I think this was more work and tiring for mom and dad than for him.
We made the potty chart and made going potty a fun game.
Going #2 in the potty was a bit of an issue as it is with most kids. He really wanted to play with his special train, but not until the goal was reached. As you can see he did it! :)
We are still going strong with the sticker chart and still working on the potty training at night, but we are in the home stretch. Christian turns 4 on Thursday and we will be at Disneyland and he will not be wearing pull-ups so this will be the true test. I'm sure he will do fine!
As you can see the kids went a little crazy with the stickers!! :)
Chloe also liked the potty training, but she just isn't quite ready yet. We still help her when she wants to use the big potty and I don't think it will be too long before she is ready to really give it a try.
