One of the reasons we stayed close to home over Memorial Day weekend was because we were going to go for it! The pressure was on as we rarely have three days in a row to do anything at home and we definitely didn't want to get caught far from a potty. Saturday afternoon we just put him in his Thomas the Train underpants that he had picked out months ago and he took to them like a champ by declaring that "babies wear diapers, I'm a big boy!"
He had a couple of accidents that afternoon and one the next morning, but that was it! The first night he had a dry night and to this date has stayed dry all night and during naps!
He did have one accident the first day at school, but it was because he couldn't get his pants unbuttoned fast enough. When he arrived at school the first day, he ran in and shouted "I'm wearing underwear!" All the teachers clapped and hollered and made a big deal out of it. Connor loved it!
By the way - the secret to our success is M&Ms as incentive.
Why didn't we do this months ago?!?!
