Survivor: Potty Training... Outwit Outplay Outlast... Contestents: Mommy and Daddy Vs. Trevor

A couple weeks ago I decided that Trevor is way too old to be in diapers. So I told him that they no longer made diapers or pull ups in his size and he had to wear underwear like a big boy. I told him we had to save what we had left for night time use. After a week of him going in his underwear and soiling himself constantly I was about to give up. I told him that he was responsible for using the potty and cleaning himself up. If we was dirty then we would help him. Then last weekend we had people over to help us put up our new fence. It turned out that Trevor just needed an audience! He started the morning off by peeing on the deck. I wasn't sure if I should be mad or laugh :) Then on Sunday he started peeing on the grass. He thought it was the coolest thing to do. I was getting excited as the thought of only having two in diapers sounded great! I took him to the store with me on Monday in underwear. We were shopping at JoAnn's when he told me he had to go potty. After much convincing on my part he decided to go use the toilet there. What a big boy using a public restroom! Of course I was so excited that I bought him some candy right away for his accomplishment. Then later while at Fred Meyers he had to go again. Since Monday he has been using the potty everday. He has only had one accident. He has not wet his pants since last week. We are still working on the other. He is doing so good! It looks like mommy and daddy may win this survivor contest afterall.
