Potty Training Express

This picture has nothing to do with
potty training because that's kind of gross.
Shucking corn, however, is pretty fun.
Here's some big news. Turner is pretty much potty-trained!!!

It all happened so fast.

Last week, after hearing that one of his close friends started using the potty, Turner started wanting to wear underwear for the first time. So Mom let him wear underwear around the house, and kept the potty around for him to use. He sat on the potty a lot but didn't seem to get how to use it. He had a few accidents in his underwear but then something seemed to click. He pooped in the potty a few times, then the day after that he started peeing in the potty. He even went to school and used the "big potty" there and didn't have any accidents.

The first few times Turner used the potty, he ran around yelling "I pooped in the potty. I'm not a toddler anymore!" Then he started saying, "Now I can stay in the babysitting room at Ikea!" 

The funny thing was I think Hazel and I were just as excited. We ran around yelling about Turner's accomplishment, and telling him how proud we were of him.

Today he used a regular toilet at Mom's allergist's office, at a friend's house, and at a restaurant. So Mom got rid of all his training potties so he will just use the regular toilet at home.

All of us were amazed at how quickly Turner has become potty-trained! Way to go Turner!
