Potty Post (Matthew's going to be soooo mad someday!)

Matthew is two and a half. We have talked about the potty for awhile, and I've tried to get him to go. But up until the last couple of weeks it was really hit or miss, both literally and figuratively. He'd go occasionally, but I could tell he just wasn't ready. The last few days, however, we have made giant steps towards being potty trained. He's worn underpants around the house for the most part, diapers when we go out and to bed, of course. He has a sticker chart where we put one star on each time he goes, there were enough spaces for 40 stickers. It took him a good month or so to get the first 10-15 stickers. But, this week he has been all about that chart! He's been getting 5 or 6 a day! He's doing so awesome! He kept himself dry for well over 48 hours, even at night! YEAH! He's turning into such a big boy!

I know this post is really silly, and if you're not a parent, probably a bit gross, I tried to spare the details. But if you are a parent, you know just how exciting this can be! I also know that my son will probably kill me someday for this, especially the picture, but hey, I'll take my chances.

This picture was taken back in August, before we became serious about this. He's come a long way since then. Please ignore my messy bathroom, it doesn't always look so bad. (Okay, maybe it does, but I could have at least shut the cupboard door so it didn't look so bad!)
