As most of you know, I am a very spoiled daughter :) My mom was just out here for her semi-annual 2 month visit and while she was here she decided to potty train Benjamin. He was going to do the cold-turkey 3 day method - so wake up, after breakfast go and say permanently goodbye to diapers (except for bedtime) and go straight to underwear (no pullups). I purchased the 20 underwear, Sam and I wished her luck - then we headed off to a resort for the weekend for a marriage conference with our church :) Below is us at the marriage conference.
There are no pictures of Ben at the potty training weekend as I guess they were a little busy :) We were told Saturday was 1 accident after another but Sunday morning it 'clicked'. So Sam and I returned home to a potty trained child just 2 days before he turned 2.5 years old. We are approaching the 2 week mark and except for 1 complete relapse day, we haven't had peeing accidents at home or even when I am out running errands. Daycare has been a bit more of a struggle but he's getting there. The 1st day at daycare he held it for 7hrs then let out the flood (and not at the potty). The pooing took him a few more days to learn, but once Sam taught him to do 'pushing' faces, that just 'clicked' for him as well (picture below is grainy since it was taken with Sam's phone and not our camera).
And yes I am sure I just jinxed it all by typing this post :)

Do you realize Mom spends more time with you than us since she stays there for 2 months??
Could your mom come help me? I have been working with Nathan for awhile. I just did the cold turkey thing last week. He is still having some accidents but has NO desire to go before the accident. UGH! Ella was trained in 1 day.
