Tanner's big accomplishment


Tanner's big accomplishment recently is that he is now potty trained! We made it into big boy underwear before the baby will be born. Tanner was our easiest child to potty train. He knew what it was about from the very beginning, the rewards of M&M's, Skittles, and Taffy helped as well. Another motivator for Tanner is that he has a Cars Potty Seat that he gets to sit on.

I know that some have a one day potty training method that they do, but that has never worked for our kids. It is a several month process to reach the point where they rarely have accidents, but then they are potty trained for good. We start with the little rewards like candy each time and then work our way up into bigger rewards. For keeping his big boy underwear dry for a week Tanner got a Leakless Car from Cars and for keeping them dry for a week he earned the Cars 2 shirt that he is wearing. As a reward for good behavior for all the boys we took them to Cars 2 the weekend that it opened. Above, Tanner is so excited to be at the greatly anticipated movie!

Woo Hoo!! It's always great to have another one out of diapers. I'm so thrilled that I only have one more to train! :) Way to go, Tanner!
