I'm a major proud mommy.

I am pleased to announce that we started potty training Marek last Saturday before last. Two days of potty training over the weekend, and then we tried pull-ups on Monday for his first day of school. I told him if he had no accidents in his pull-ups at school, then he could go back to wearing underwear like he got to do over the weekend. (Underwear to him.. means MAJOR big boy)! So after getting wonderful reviews from his teachers, and no accidents we allowed him underwear on Tuesday.. Boy am I the proudest mom ever! He had ZERO accidents ALL week and all weekend long!!

How I did it... First day... He received a Hershey kiss for every pee, and a Hershey bar for... well.. a poo... Well that quickly changed when I realized that he had more pee than most dogs... Somehow he managed to go about 20+ times in a couple hours... We quickly switched it to one M&M.

Now after I hear a good report from the teacher and no accidents each week. He gets to visit the "Fun Monster Treasure Chest" (filled with all kinds of fun little toys) This is very motivating to him.. Because he sees the box.. and really wants a toy from it. Hopefully fingers crossed.. he keeps up this accident free streak!

Here is a book he likes to read often to us, and to himself while on the potty or at night. He reminds us regularly that he goes just like Joshua.. the little boy in the book.

I am not posting any pictures of him on the potty.. But... it is quite a sight to see. He actually uses two different pottys... depending on what he needs to do.. the small potty is for pee. And he sits on it and bends completely over where is head practically hits the floor... It's a real sight to see.
