Adventures in Potty Training!

We officially started potty training Jackson on Monday, about two months shy of his third birthday. I wanted him trained by his third birthday, but especially trained before baby #3 shows up in December---can you imagine three kids in diapers?? Plus, we wanted there to be enough time with Jackson being trained so that he couldn't regress when the baby arrives. So, we were set with big boy undies, stickers, M&Ms, and a whole lot of hope! He did pretty well, only three accidents on day one. Tuesday there were two accidents, and Wednesday as well. I decided not to use pull-ups for naptime and just see what would happen. Jackson amazed me, as he stayed dry for the three days that he napped this week!! Thursday was a great day, since that was the first day for poops in the potty!!! Woo-hoo!! (I know, for those of you without kids or without kids in the potty training stage yet, this isn't that exciting, but it is for us!!) Jackson was completely dry all day on Friday--great news!! The best news of the week came on Saturday morning. When we went to change Jackson out of his jammies and night-time pull-up, we realized that his pull-up was DRY!! We were shocked, but totally excited! We know that it may be a fluke, but still pretty exciting!! We went out to breakfast to celebrate this morning!! We are all so proud of Jackson!! Way to go, J-man Jackson!! We love you!!

Just a super cute picture of Jackson, as he is walking down the hill backwards.
