    YAAYYYY!!! I am soooo excited! Some of you may have read previous posts by me regarding my DS who had NO interest in using the potty.. and I truly did NOT expect him to be pt'd by his 3rd bday. Weeeeeelllll, we are awfully close!

    His daycare ( that I LOVE by the way) only potty trains in underwear, so I was hesitant to bring a bunch of clothes to school, just for him to pee in them all day and have a ton of pee stuff to wash. Well I finally bit the bullet last Thursday. Thursday and Friday he had 3 and 4 accidents respectively. Saturday I kept him in a diaper but took him potty throughout the day. Sunday I put a pull-up on him and took him potty every hour or so, and HE STAYED DRY ALL DAY, even throughout NAP and OVERNIGHT Sunday night!!! :banana: Yesterday at school (back in underwear) he only had ONE accident and it was poop. ;)

    Im sooo excited and surprised because just about a month ago I had tried putting him in underwear and I took him potty and he peed in his underwear w/in like 15 minutes, so its so impressive to see him holding it for an hour or more at a time!!
    Im soooo happy! :D Can you tell? :) Also, even up until last week, when I would take him potty and he would pee, I would say 'yay' or clap or anything to encourage him, and he would tell me "No yay" or "stop it" so I really thought he wasnt enthused about it at all, but I guess something finally 'clicked' for him!

    So, for anyone else out there who is struggling, there IS light at the end of the tunnel!
    (Hopefully he will continue doing well; otherwise you will hear about it! lol)

    Congrats!!!! Hopefully he continues to thrive with the potty training. It's such a nice thing when they are completely potty trained. I remember the excitement when you just can't stop smiling because that light bulb has turned on for them.

    I am just about to start the process with my sons, so your post gives me hope. I have a feeling that one child is ready but the other is not, so this could be interesting. We've been reading potty books for a week or so and I got two DVDs from the library. They sit on their potties (well, one son does) as they watch the videos (after dinner) but so far no actual pee/poop! Anyway, I have 18 pairs of Diego and Curious George underwear, so I am hoping to start on Sunday. We'll see what happens! Congrats on your success.
