FINALLY!
We took the leap (a couple of weeks ago) and Jack is potty trained!
After a couple of months of getting ready...deciding to do it...and then chickening out...
The time felt right, and we took the plunge!
(No pun intended!)
I woke up determined, prizes stocked, and ready to stay home for a few days to tackle this once and for all.
When Jack woke up, I took him to his drawer and closet and showed him that his diapers were gone. I pulled out about 20 pairs of underwear and he was excited and ready to say goodbye to diapers!
Here he is stripping his last diaper before his bath.
(I think it's a pretty good indication he was too old for diapers when he was practically changing himself!)
Ewww! Diapers are gross!
He was excited and cooperative from the first minute.
We stayed home the entire day...and believe it or not...
He pretty much never even had an accident!
Amazing, no doubt.
It only took about 1-2 times for him to barely start going, and he knew to stop it until he made it to the bathroom!
We both went to bed totally encouraged and I, for one, was so relieved and surprised at how it all went down.
Within about 2 days, we were out and about.
Jack was fine going to the bathroom in public places, and to this day, hasn't had an accident away from home. He used pull-ups at night for a brief bit, but we decided to nix those pretty fast and he's essentially never woken in the middle of the night or nap with an accident!
The old #2 was a bit scary for him for the first bit, but he conquered that fear in no time.
With all the dread and procrastination on my part, I can honestly say...it was not bad at all.
I guess there's no question...the boy was ready.
What a stud!
TMI?

There is no doubt Jack was ready. He seems so grown up now! You certainly know the best way to present a new concept to your kid. Way to go sis, you conquered a huge feat with no trouble at all. Not surprising in the least.
