Okay, so he is Master of his own Universe, but nonetheless. It's official: we (temporarily, sigh) no longer have children in diapers! HOORAY! That's right, Gordon is completely potty trained! I wish I could credit my amazing mothering skills for this feat, but the truth is that it was all Gord's decision. We've been teetering around the idea for several months now, and this week, he just decided that the time had finally come. I've mentioned his strong-willed nature before, and this is just another prime example: when he's ready, he'll do it.
He had a couple of accidents on Monday and Tuesday, our first two diaper-free days, but none since. Yesterday, when we went to the museum and out to dinner, I brought along clean pairs of shorts, socks and undies, just in case, but they went back into the drawer unused. After he made it through the three hour church block, and again, a three hour nap on my bed (now that's a test!), both wetness-free, I feel safe in saying that we've arrived at toilet mastery heaven!
Part of me is very sad that I no longer have a baby in this little guy, but the other part, the bigger and more important part, is thrilled with the awesome kid he is now! Way to go, buddy!

YIPPEE! Hey, have I ever told you about how we FINALLY potty trained Ben? It's unsusal, but it worked very well!!
Hooray! Way to Gordy and Mommy! I loved the nap on your bed part. Every potty training parent can relate. Is he staying dry during the night too?
Hahah that picture is the best. And you know that I love any conversation with Asher as the topic- so I didn't mind your input at all.:)
Go Gordon! He knew being three meant diaper-free.
Holy cow, that is freaking awesome! Sounds like the easiest potty training ever! Congrats.
Dalt and Joe both were done in a matter of one week. Soph on the other hand started much earlier (all her idea), and had a great March, and April, but May has been a pee and pooping nightmare. I hope Gord is totally finished like my boys were.
SO JEALOUS! i love the picture! i am hoping it inspires owen.
Suh-weet!
While I am not diaper free, I am at least three-year-old diaper free, and that's a good place to be.
yeah Gord. He looks so cute in big boy undies.
