Potty Training Round 2

So the month of February was spent working with Everett on potty training. We originally had started training before Christmas but struggled a little and so we put a hold on it to enjoy the holidays and wedding. But February started on a Monday and it called out to us as the perfect day to start trying again, so we did. He did really well too. We've had our ups and downs with potty training. It's definitely not my favorite part of parenting which is why I avoided it for as long as I thought I could. We started out with potty treats and a timer, which worked but the treats didn't seem to encourage him as much as they should have, and he wouldn't go on his own, only when the timer went off... so we tried something else. A potty chart. He got stickers every time he went, which at the beginning (since he was going every couple minutes), didn't take long to fill. We took him to the dollar store to pick out a toy for filling up his chart. He chose cars. :) The second chart took a little longer to fill but he was also getting the hang of things and didn't have to sit on it every couple minutes. He's doing great!
