Roughly a month before his 2nd birthday, he had been showing a lot of interest in peeing in the potty. He'd tell us he wanted to go and he's gone in the potty a handful of times. But we never officially trained him. Most of the time when he would tell us, we'd just tell him to go in his diaper (no points for lazy parents!)
One day, we just decided it's was finally time to try it out and give him a chance. It's a commitment and a lot of work! He was excited to wear big boy undies (which he calls "undies like DD's") and he did great for the first day with just a couple of accidents. As a reward, he'd get TWO M&Ms which motivated him to keep up with it. Although he did great for someone his age (he's really still a "baby" and we honestly didn't expect much), it did take him a while to really get the hang of it. The hardest part was potty training while in school. It was obvious that he wasn't comfortable going in their potty and the worst part, NO M&Ms in school. After much pep talk and lots of encouragement, Logan proudly wears his big boy undies. It took him about two and half weeks to be officially potty trained! We couldn't be more thrilled!
