No more stinky diapers!

I am so happy to announce that Cody is potty-trained!! No more poopy diapers, saggy-wet diapers, or diapering paraphernalia to carry with me everywhere I go. He loves wearing underwear and is so proud of himself. It has been a fairly easy process (my tender mercy) and he has been the easiest of the kids to potty train. We have been having him sit on the potty and he would occasionally pee, but nothing consistent. About 2 weeks ago he woke up and I was getting him dressed and was tired of putting diapers on my 2 year old who is as big as a 4 year old(I could barely lift him up onto the changing table anymore and he has been too big for it for a while now). So I found some of Connor's old underwear, put it on him, and basically said "Don't pee in the underwear". I then decided I should probably stay home for the day and started pumping him full of fluids. To my surprise, he would just run into the bathroom when he needed to go. It was like he had worn underwear his whole life. He would announce "I HAVE TO GO PEE" and we would both run to the bathroom and he would go. Just like that. Every half an hour. So, I cut back on the fluids and he's been going ever since. Now I will catch him in there going on his own. I guess this is one benefit of having a highly independent child. Now, don't all you mom's out there toilet paper my house thinking I had it too easy. We have had our accidents here and there and the poop thing has been a little tricky. But as my sister has said, " You deserve one thing to be easy with Cody since everything else isn't". And there is nothing cuter than a little boy running around the house in his underwear!!!
