No More Diapers, Yay!!

Our wallet is feeling a little lighter these days (but not for long). Jantzen finally decided, after a lot of coaxing and bribing, to go potty in the toilet like a big boy. We took treats away from him (his favorite thing to eat) and told him he could only have one if he goes potty in the toilet. We also told him we would buy him a "Tuck" the turtle from Wonder Pets (one of his favorite shows right now) and a Boba Fett costume, cuz we all know how much he loves Boba Fett. He started doing it a few weeks ago and has been doing awesome! We went to Walmart and let him pick out his new underwear. He picked out Spiderman, Iron Man, Cars, Hulk and Power Rangers. He even planned out the first week what pairs of underwear he was going to wear each day. It was really cute. He had one accident in his underwear so Josh took away his Nintendo. I guess that was a good idea because he got it back and hasn't had any accidents since. He even wakes up dry in the morning, yeah!

One thing he does that's really funny is when he goes number two. As soon as he flushes the toilet he says, "bye, bye sucka!" It's so funny! Josh and I are so glad that we don't have to change any diapers anymore , for now. Now, if we could just get him to wipe himself good enough so we don't have too.

Here is Jantzen with his "Tuck". He has to wait until closer to Halloween to get his Boba Fett costume because we can't find them right now. That's okay, he can wait until then.

Way to go Jantzen!! We took things away from Conner too when we potty trained him, it only took a few times of getting his favorite toy taken for him to stop having accidents. It's nice not to have to buy diapers.... even if it won't last for too long! :)

Boys say the funniest things about poop. Conner called his poop, a "poop snake" for a very long time. Now it's "slammin' a duece", thanks to Derek!
