Will It Finally Happen?!?

This morning Cavell ran down the hallway towards his room. Moments later he exclaimed, "I pee on potty!"  I walked over to the bathroom and see his pajama bottoms and his discarded diaper on the floor.  Cavell is sitting on the toilet, beaming, and still telling me he peed on the potty.  And, there was pee in the potty!

I quickly created a Go Diego potty chart for Cavell to put his reward Go Diego stickers on.  He already has two stickers from this morning that he earned on his own, without any help or encouragement.  He is also making additional, unproductive, trips to the bathroom of his own volition.

Words can not express how excited we ALL are for this new step to be taken.

**Update: Cavell had only two accidents that first weekend.  After that it has been over two weeks with no accidents.  We can confidently say Cavell potty trained himself, quickly . . .  if you blissfully forget the numerous attempts I had made since he turned 3 that he didn't really participate in.

What a cute potty chart! It is always such a relief when they finally start going in the toilet. Potty training is something I seriously dread every time.....good luck!! :)
