Potty Excellence!

Potty training is here in full effect.  It seems it has happened so fast, I mean Ben is in undies during the day and no accidents? When did he become such a big boy?!? 2 weeks ago, daycare told us to quit putting him in diapers because it was only getting in his way when he would go to the toilet on his own to pee? WHAT? He was not doing that at home but apparently he was showing off at daycare with his potty skills. So last weekend we did the "need to go potty?" every 45 minutes to him and I created the fabulous fancy potty chart as seen below :) (yes Thursday is Thursay, oopppss).  He gets small stickers for pee and big stickers for poop. Not only does this encourage him to pee, but he is learning the days of the week - double bonus with this chart!
We went to dinner last night with the Forrest family and I think he visited both the women's and men's restroom about 10 times - 2 of those he actually did pee. wwooo  hoo! Ben is rocking this potty training, he pooped both Thursday and Friday night... I'm hoping we've passed the "OMG I'm terrified to drop my poop in the toilet" stage.  Cleaning up not only 1 but 2 poop undies on Tuesday was more than we'd like.... please please please let this pooping in the potty stick around :)  I'll tell ya, when Ben does decide to achieve a new goal, he puts his all in it and goes full steam ahead. I am so proud of the Stinkerman!!
