Potty Training #2

We have put off potty training Van due to his various digestive problems.  But, as I was sorting through winter clothes and bringing out the summer clothes, Van noticed Clive's underwear that he had grown out of.  I asked him if he wanted to try them on.  With a huge smile, he said yes.  Once they were on, I asked him if he wanted to wear them for a little while and he said he did.  Well, that turned into all day, with him coming to me every 30 minutes or so, saying he needed to go on "the pot".  He went about 10 times yesterday (only one little mishap which happened to be at Dest's house...sorry!).  He also went #2 and brought his little potty to me, while saying, "Look Mommy, I made a molten cake!"  There went my continuous craving for molten lava cake.  Thank. You. Van.
He has done really well today, too.  He went to gym class diaper free and ran some errands with me too.  I remember with Clive, I didn't leave the house for a full week b/c I was too scared of him peeing everywhere.  But, with Van, we've just gone on with our normal routine, crossing our fingers.  Maybe it's easier b/c he's nearly 3 1/2!!
Picture to come of Van in his little underoos.  So cute!  Way to go, Van!!

Yay Van!! Hope he sticks with it. The fact that he brought you his potty and pointed out a molten cake is nothing but a solid indication of how MUCH molten cake you actually eat in your house. Dude. Of all the things poop could look like...

Yay Van!!
I'm thinking Jakey will be just as easy to train too...but we'll see. :)

I dream of children that take to potty training easily... We'll see.

Otherwise, leave it to kids to help us get over our cravings! I wouldn't be too upset though, considering the calorie savings!

I don't know if I can ever eat molten cake again. :) At least, not without thinking about Van....
