The Potty Chart

In effort NOT to have the toddler who is 3 years old and not potty trained, we decided that at 2 years 2 weeks old, its time to introduce Walker to the potty.......really introduce him to the potty. Needless to say, our days started out like this-
 "Hey Walker, lets go potty". ......silence.......and he walks into his bathroom, proceeds to set his catepillar into the potty and walk off.

Fail.

Now introducing the potty chart method! We go to target, buy some cute little stickers and we hang a poster above his potty.

"Hey Walker, lets go potty". And BAM! We have a winner! He wants to sit on the potty all of the time! So everytime he at least makes an *attempt*, he gets a sticker to place on his chart. This was also a slow go method the first day because once he placed his sticker on his chart, he kept sitting back down on his froggy potty to get another sticker. Luckily that battle only last the first day until he caught on.
 So this goes on for about 4 days successfully, just Walker D and I. But this week, Jesse comes home from work and says "Walker, lets go to the potty". And little man follows in behind him. A few minutes later I hear a scream across the house- "WALKER PEE-PEED IN THE POTTY!!!!". (include a vicious laughter here because Jesse knew...)
Are you flipping kidding me?

I work with the kid for days vigilantly and Jesse takes him in ONE TIME and he pees in the potty? (rolls eyes). Of course. Of course he would.

I love this life. I love my boys. I love my girl. I love this life. :)
