These are words I hear about 6 or more times a day at our house. Mason gets so excited everytime he pees (or poops!) in the potty. Everytime, he says, "I did it!!!!!" Yes....he is now POTTY TRAINED!!!!! It was actually the easiest thing ever. I was so afraid it would take weeks to get it down and for him to start catching on to what was going on but I was totally wrong! I started out with the idea of having him run around my parents backyard (since we don't have much of a yard here) in his underwear so he could pee freely and I wouln't have pee spots to clean up on my carpet. So I went and bought a kids pool for him and just tried to make it fun. Then I realized, as he was swimming, that since he was wet from the pool, I wouldn't really know if/when he was peeing. But, I continued on with the idea, and he had a blast!
Mason doing one of his absolute favorite things...blowing bubbles!
Ok, so I know this is really gross, but I could not resist. The picture below is Mason after he had his first "poop" accident. If you look at his bum, you will notice the bulge in his undies. Just be grateful I didn't post the picture of just his bum!
The next day, I kept him inside so I could really see how he was going to do. He had sat on his little potty many times before this, but he had never actually peed in it. So while he had his first accident (of pee!) I made sure he was recognizing that he was peeing, and I congratulated him even though it was all over the floor. A little while later he started acting like he needed to pee so I rushed him to his potty and........he went pee in the potty for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was soooooo excited I took a picture! I got way excited and praised him like crazy, and that's pretty much all it took. Yes, he did have a few accidents and still has them here and there, but overal, he does real good. In fact, he goes all by himself so most of the time I don't even know he has gone until I go into the bathroom and there's pee in his potty. Oh, and he can "hold it" for a real long time. It's nice!! It's funny because when he poops, he comes out and yells "I poooooped!!!! Come see it!!" And he drags me and Vance in to see it (he makes sure we both see it). It's pretty funny. The picture below is of his first pee in the potty.

That is so funny! Potty training scares me, good thing I have a long way to go! :) I showed danny the picture of the poop in his underwear, so funny! Looks like you guys have had a good experience. good job.
Congrats to Mason!!
Congrats Mom and Mason. My 3 year still isn't potty trained. He has pooped in the potty once but nothing since. We let him go free with no diapre or anything on then he pees on the carpet and comes and yells, "I peed on the floor." Oh its great!
Jealous! We're nowhere near!!!
