The joys of Training

We've recently started the task of potty training. So far it's going pretty well. Not great, but well enough. We've been using the potty chart system which seems to be yielding some results. Myles really likes getting the stickers after he "goes" and I like it because he gets some kind of reward without me filling my house with tons of dollar store toys or overloading him with treats.

We put the charts on the bathroom door and recently Myles finished filling up every last one. He did get a new car for getting so many stickers and like a good mom I actually remembered to take a picture to mark the occasion. The picture really doesn't show all of the hard work that he's accomplished. It only shows 4 of the charts that he filled. Really there are 6 or 7 I think. It filled the whole length of the door. I'm so proud of what he's done. Now for the next step, this weekend I'm going to attempt to go from pull-up straight to underwear. Wish me luck!
