The Best Potty Training Experience EVER! (So far)

Teddy started potty training Christmas day.  Why?  I needed a goal for him, something that actually happens, in order to start off with a bang.  It was supposed to be when we got to Hawaii, but 1.) I didn’t really feel like starting the process in a carpeted hotel room and 2.) He threw a temper tantrum whenever the subject came up because he didn’t know we were in Hawaii already, so in his mind, we were jumping the gun.  So we started fresh, with a new impetus.  When Christmas came (ta-da!) the diapers would run out and he would be a big boy :):).  To my relief, it worked!  He was so excited.  However, it quickly became frustrating.  For the next two days, regardless of having him “try” to go potty every half hour when the timer beeped, he never once went in the toilet.  I repented of my decision and was ready to quit, when he suddenly “got it” and hasn’t wet his pants since.  Seriously, easiest potty training ever.  He did it himself once he figured out what he was supposed to do.  Even at night!  One happy mama here :)
