He’s a Big Boy Now!!

Well, its been almost a year since I posted this very first post about potty training my middle child.

http://triplesmiles.blogspot.com/2009/07/potty-training-expressor-not.html

I have learned a lot in this journey. This has not been a fun journey.

About half way through this journey Levi discovered the movie Toy Story at his Nana’s house. He went nuts over Woody especially. This became my motivator…and finally he began to show progress. So,this last week we have been at a local Vacation Bible School. I made Levi a special VBS Potty Training chart and told him if he could go 5 days in a row with no accidents, we would take him to see the new Toy Story3. Each day when I picked him up from VBS, he was excited to share his success with me! Everyday…we put a sticker on his chart after VBS. I also threw in a Dr. Pepper, Toy Story “treats” and popcorn to his “Reward Package”

So today, Levi and “buddies” got to go see Toy Story 3! Toystory 005

I love this picture his feet are literally off the ground, he is so excited. Toystory 008

Mommy packed a very economical snack bag for each child…we refilled it with popcorn:)Toystory 010 Toystory 007

Toystory 002

Another thing that I love, is he didn’t mind at all about sharing his reward with his siblings.

Now….for THE GIRL!!!!!

I'm about ready to potty train Lucie. Potty training Wyatt has not been a fun journey for me, either. We still have to tell him to go all the time! He doesn't have accidents, but it's like we're the ones who are trained, not him. My girls have all been easy so I'm hoping Lucie will be, too. Congrats to Levi and to you, too!
