yay for Gramma and potty training!

While my mom was here she got the ball rolling for Braden to start potty training. How I don't know. Whenever Darren and I would talk to him about going he just said no...had NO interest what-so-ever. Then mom asks and he goes. and he goes. and he goes. Yesterday I returned a big box of diapers back to Sam's Club and went and bought a small pack (for bedtime) along with pull ups (for outings) and more undies (for home). We're hoping we don't need them all - but he's only gone in a public potty one day - that was yesterday - and he went at 2 different stores, lol.

So - I would say he's 75% there. He stays dry during a nap. Goes when he gets the urge. Hasn't had any accidents in 2 days (there was that one time 2 days ago when he forgot to "tuck it in" but we're not counting that). And isn't afraid of a public restroom like another child I have....

so thank you, mom - you've saved us $40/month in diapers!!!

My mom did that with my newphews. Took them for a weekend and had them potty trained. Isn't always grandma that they listen to anyway?

Congrats!
