"Pee Pee in the Potty, Pee Pee in the Potty!"

"Good job Christopher! You went pee pee in the potty, pee pee in the potty!"
Yeah Christopher is FINALLY potty trained! This weekend I was DETERMINED to potty train Christopher. This has been a work in progress for a few weeks. We had been trying to get him ready, talking about going potty, trying to practice going potty, BUT Christopher was determined to do everything BUT go potty! Even though I have done this two times before, I felt like it was my first time again. So I took everyone's advice and waited till he turned 3. This seem to be the magic number. So here we are 3 years old BUT still "no potty!" I was beginning to think I would have a 4 year old who WAS NOT potty trained! WHAT???? Oh no, I had to do this. Last Sunday, we began with the pull up. Every 30 minutes, "Christopher let's go potty." Few times we went without a fight, but more times it was a fight! BUT all my mommy friends said, "Don't give up!" So we kept on. There were tears, both Chris AND ME! LOL There were struggles and OH THERE WAS STUBBORNNESS. I'll tell you a little secret, but don't tell David. I think Christopher gets his stubbornness a little bit more from me then daddy! :0 Shhhhhh don't tell. Well about mid-week, we were doing a little better. On Saturday Andrew had an 8 o'clock game. I put a pull up on him and we tried to go a few times at the game, but no luck. By the time we got home and he had pooped and peed. :( Still determined, I put underwear on him and we went every 30 minutes. By mid-day Christopher was telling me when he had to go. We had NO ACCIDENTS and well he just ROCKED! I was so excited. I did my famous "pee pee in the potty dance and song" everytime AND he got M&M's. Sunday came and he ROCKED IT OUT just like Saturday. So yes we now FINALLY have a potty trained 3 year old! Check him out!
