Potty Training

Well it's official...the boys are potty trained (mostly).  We began on the day before Thanksgiving with the "3 day method", which was something that many of my friends found to be successful with their toddlers.  The first day was exactly what you would expect...messy.  However, subsequent days went better and better and by the third day, both boys were completely able to pee on the potty.  Pooping was another story!  By the fourth day, Grant conquered his fear of pooping on the potty and proceeded to poop an additional four times that same day (this is what happens when you don't poop for 2 and a half days).  At this point I'd say he's trained.  JT is still having poop accidents in his underwear.  We've tried to up the rewards and that has been mildly successful.  He now tells us when he has poop instead of running away from us.  Baby steps...
Overall, we're just super thrilled with not having to spend $100 plus on diapers each month!!!
