A story only a mother could like...

Last week I decided it was time to do some serious potty training with Colby. We have been trying to talk him into it for months, but he never seemed interested. It was a long process getting Ethan potty trained, so I was not looking forward to going through it again, but I thought having Colby trained sometime in his life was a good idea. Zak and I got ourselves all pumped up, and were ready to go. We decided to just go cold turkey--no more diapers, no pull-ups, no turning back. We figured we would be cleaning up a lot of messes, and be stuck at the house for about a week, but we had to just do it.
On Tuesday, I got rid of the few diapers we had left, so when Colby wanted a diaper change later, I took him in there and showed him they we gone. He was a little confused, and then he actually told me he should probably just wear underwear. We put some on him, and told him he needed to use the potty so he could keep his pants dry, and then we sat back and waited for the inevitible accidents to happen as he got the hang of it. Or not. Colby was a champ! He has been clean and dry, day and night, since! He got the hang of it so quick, and he is excited to be a "big boy". We're so proud of him, and so glad it was an easy process this time! And Zak is really glad he does not have to clean any pee out of the carpet.
