We Did It!

Well, we finally accomplished the feat I thought would never be accomplished . Chase-Man is potty-trained! We have been working on this endeavour for five days now. He has only had a total of five accidents and really seems to have gotten the hang of it! He is telling me when he needs to use the potty and has stayed dry overnight for several nights. Last week, I was trying to think of a motivator for Chase to get potty-trained before preschool began. For whatever reason, I had the forethought to tell him that his preschool teacher had called and was checking to see how his potty-training was going. I told him that she wanted me to call her and let her know how he was doing. It worked! He said that he wanted to make his teacher, mommy, daddy and himself proud, and he has! I am so proud of him. In fact, we were walking in the mall today and he said, "Mommy, I have to go poop!" I quickly ran him to the restroom and after we finished, he looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes and said, "Mommy, are you so proud of me?" Needless to say, I had to fight back tears. My baby is growing up!
