Success!

It is has been nearly two weeks since Trevor stopped wearing a diaper and I feel confident in saying that he is now potty trained.  I'm not sure if I would quantify these as accidents, but sometimes he forgets what a toilet looks like and mistakes my rhododendron or the deck for one, but at least he pulls his underwear down first.  (What is it about boys thinking that the world is their toilet??)

The hardest part about potty training wasn't getting him to go in the potty.  Oh no.  The hardest part was getting him to put clothes back on after he went.  But putting things into perspective, potty training was no where near as frustrating and transitioning him to a big boy bed...go figure.  Here he is showing off his new big boy underwear.

Trevor loved the idea of getting treats and stickers for going on the toilet.  At first, some leftover jelly beans from Easter were motivation enough, but eventually stale jelly beans stopped working and I had to resort to better treats, like a bowl of blueberries, fruit snacks, gum, and even beef jerky!!  Stickers were always a hit, thus the filled sticker chart proudly displayed on the door of his new big boy bathroom.

We are super pleased with Trevor and he is delighted with himself for mastering a new skill.  Here's an interview with Trevor about his success for your viewing pleasure.
