A Milestone for Tyrone.

Today we celebrated Tyrone joining the world of big boys who go pee and poop in the potty. YAY!!! Tyrone was almost completely potty trained before Niamh was born. Then once Niamh came along, he decided he wanted to be a baby and keep wearing diapers. He was in a size 6 diaper and I worried that if he didn't soon potty train, we would have to move on to "depends." :) He has been going pee in the toilet for the last few weeks but will not go #2. We bribed him with promises of buying a nerf toy gun he had been asking for. He just kept saying "I can't go, it's just to scary." I had decided to just wait till he decided for himself, but Lucas took the reigns and told Tyrone if he started going #2 in the toilet that we would take him to Chuckee Cheeses. It only took a day and voila, Tyrone decided it was time he start wearing big boy underwear. I am keeping my fingers crossed because I know he could regress, but I am optimistic that he has decided for good. I am so happy that we only have to buy one size packs of diapers now instead of two.

LOL!! Congrats to Tyrone but mostly to his parents! I think that Chuck E. Cheese is the ultimate bribery. I think that is how Maddox was potty trained. We are actually going there this weekend because Mason sang a solo at his Great To Be 8! Too funny!
