Mission Complete!

It's been just over 5 months since this post when we first started potty training. It took a long time to get over that last hurdle, but he finally did it! SHANE IS POTTY TRAINED!!

We tried all sorts of bribes and rewards over those 5 months...but it didn't take long after buying a set of Iron Man figures that it happened. We put those and the toy guns that he loves sooo much up in this metal tree wall hanging we have in the dining room. He called it the "Poopy Tree." We told him as soon as he went in the potty like a big boy he could have all the toys in the Poopy Tree. He went up to it several times in those couple of days and would tell everyone about the Poopy Tree (which was pretty hilarious to have to explain to people) and then one day when I was taking a little nap on the couch he came in and told me he did it! Of course I didn't believe him since we've struggled for so long with this...but sure enough he did! With no help and no pressuring...he just went all on his own! Everyone said that is how it would happen, but I was still shocked. Hooray for Shane and hooray for no more diapers!!!!
