Look who is potty trained and wears big boy underwear! This picture is a perfect depiction of potty training week at our house. (And it makes me laugh out loud!) The house was a complete disaster while I was chasing around this little guy in his superman underwear. If you know me well, then you know I DESPISE potty training! The constant hovering over a little 3 year old tornado - every moment of every day for 5 days - is not my idea of fun. The constant repetitious phrases ("Tell mommy when you need to go potty…Please keep your underwear dry"- 75 million times a day) plus following every frantic movement he makes, and all while watching his squishy face for any indication that it might be time to go and just basically not taking my eyeballs off him … it's enough to drive me totally insane. BUT WE DID IT!
We started Thanksgiving weekend, and he had a good handle on it after about 5 days. We had lots of juice, sticker charts, there was a lot of running to the toilet, & potty treats (the whole family got one every time he went - it was a serious sugar party at our house that week) & poo poo prizes. He has done fantastically, and I am so proud of him. Andrew, this was the best Christmas present you could have given me! You are a rock star in my book!
Quote of potty training:
Mom: Andrew, be sure to keep your underwear dry, ok?
Andrew: Aye, aye, Captain!!

Can you say "Wedding Video Material"?
There is something about little boys in big boy underwear that is the cutest thing ever. And I mean that in a mommy way, not a creeper way.
