but we've made it over a week with NO potty accidents! YAY JACK! It seems he really was ready at 3! Our pediatrician said "start at 2, train for a year, start at 3, train for a week." And as usual, I think she was right! We've given it a try a few times since 2 and it was clear pretty quickly that he wasn't ready, so we just waited. At his 3 year checkup she said that 75% of boys were trained at that point, so we might have to force the issue a little bit if he hadn't taken to it on his own yet. I asked everyone I knew for their tricks and it seemed there really weren't any. A few said they gave them treats when they had a successful trip to the potty, but knowing Jack, we'd be handing out treats until he was 12 if we started that. He NEVER forgets treats. So we just asked often, smothered him with praise when he did well and made sure to have plenty of cool undie pants, as he calls them, around to get him excited. I will give most of the credit to school and Kenny. They did most of the work, but I'm proud to say we made it! We haven't tackled night time training just yet. He sleeps like a rock, so I think it'll be a while before we try that.
