I'm Calling It

(please don't let this jinx me, please, please, please)

I am officially calling it - after 3 years and approximately 5000 diapers, Henry is potty trained! And, it only took 19 hours (we started at 4 PM on Saturday, and his last accident was Sunday at about 1 PM)! GO HENRY!!!! (I guess there is something to be said for waiting until 3 years old)

Henry has been PERFECT since Sunday afternoon. He goes by himself and goes often without me reminding him. We were out and about yesterday and most of the day today, and he did really well with public bathrooms. Also today he got to go and pick out his new Thomas Train as a reward for staying clean and dry for 3 days straight. He was very happy with that.

I am assuming that he will definitely have accidents - especially next week when he goes back to school and is busy playing with his friends. But, he obviously knows what he is doing, so I still think we can officially remove him from the diaper list.

The main problems we now need to deal with are the fact that he needs to learn how to do buttons and snaps (not so hot with that right now) and that I can tell I will have a LOT of trouble weaning him off the jellybean rewards he has thus far been receiving.

Congrats Henry, we are so proud!
