A few weeks ago one of my friends replied to a post I put on Facebook in regards to running out of Pull Ups. She is a nanny and replied "Run out? We didn't "run out" I simply hid them and that is how Mya was finally potty trained." This sparked something in me so I decided to only put Vance in Pull Ups for nap and bedtime. All other times he was in regular underwear. We also implemented (and actually followed through) with a reward system. We did a potty chart and put it next to the toilet downstairs. I then bought special stickers (Spiderman, Iron Man, and Scooby Doo). Every time he went potty when I told him to he got 1 M&M. If he went potty on his own he got a sticker and 2 M&M's. If he went poop he got 6 M&M's and the coveted Iron Man sticker.
The first day we had one accident on the floor. After that he was great! He would go potty every time I told him to which was every hour. By the third day he was running into the bathroom on his own. By the fifth day he was going completely on his own even poop!!! Today it is like second nature to him. He runs to the bathroom every time he has to potty. He gets so excited when he goes poop in the toilet, he thinks its great!!! I do too! :) Another parenting milestone in the books :)
