Yay!

We've had two successes in potty training today, been accident free all day, and even were able to go out to the store with Brayden only wearing his big boy undies under his pants, no diaper! Loving the progress he is making and the fact that in just two weeks or so since we tried it last time, he seems so much more excited about it this time, and wanting to do it. Rewards seem to be working for now, though I know we cant bribe him with small toys and candy for forever, its a good start to getting him to understand what a good thing he is doing. Today he got a happy meal toy and a box of conversation hearts for his successes.  As he gets better at it, I think we might switch to a sticker chart so it spaces out the "prizes" and then eventually wean it down to just going because he is supposed to and is a big boy. This morning he sat down for maybe 2 minutes and went immediately, and then this afternoon, he sat for about 20-30 minutes, watching a cartoon and then went. Both time he totally got that he had gone and was so excited to tell us :). The second time, we didnt have a prize for him, so Mike encouraged me to take Bray to the store to get him a little treat which he was so excited to come home and show, and share with Daddy (his conversation hearts)!
