** Let me preface this by saying he has been using the potty at daycare for about a week, but has had NO interest when he was home**
This morning I made a big decision - I was going to work on this potty training thing. So I put regular underwear on Zachary and pulled out his potty chart. He was so excited to pick out his own underwear, and when I told him every time he sat on the potty or pee peed on the potty, he got to put a sticker on his chart, he was ready.
Three times Zachary peed on his potty! I have never been so proud of him, and he has never been so proud of himself! He screamed with excitement each time he went - and then could not WAIT to place the sticker on his chart. Each time he sat on the potty, he would ask for a 'special treat' and I had to remind him that he would only get one if he peed - so of course he would continue to sit until he did.
The hardest part? Convincing him to put on pull ups for nap time and bedtime!
I know this is only the beginning, but I am feeling really good about this. It is amazing how much your life has changed after you have a child - my excitement in life now is knowing that Zachary peed on the potty!!
