finally

This is DJ. He has played an important role in our potty success.....as many of you know (or now you do know) Bren has some issues with going #2. It has gotten better, but a few months ago- maybe January, we started forcing him to go #2 on the potty. He wouldn't go in his diaper, so one night I put him on the pot and said you will not leave the bathroom until you go. So needless to say there have been many many hours logged in the bathroom by all.

He is doing very good with potty training. We are not 100% accident free, but he does good, usually dry during the day, will tell you when he needs to go, but still working on it. So we have been using a lot of bribes. For the most part he is liking the bribes. I now have a 'surprize prize' box. If he stays dry for the day, he gets something. Each time it's different from the box, maybe a car or book or movie etc. Oh, and don't forget about the Skittles. Each time he goes at home he gets 3.

But there are two special cars. And we put them out in the open, on top of the fridge and would push and push and remind him about them. One is a car that he will get when he is trained. And the other is a car for when he goes #2 at the Y. We spend a lot of time at the Y, he is there maybe 25+ hrs a week. That needs to be a comfortable place for him to go #2. And today he finally did it! I'm so proud of him.
