Said the 3-year-old...

The other day we went to Toys-R-Us so that Teagan could pick out his big finale toy for potty training. He had TWO days with no accidents! Woo hoo!

While we were there Teagan held up a toy car and said with a lot of excitement, "MOM! Look at this car!" There was nothing special about this particular car and I just said, "Yeah, cool." Teagan ran up and got in my face with his hand on his hip and said, "Mom! I haven't seen this in FIVE YEARS!" lol

I'm a BIG Kid Now!

 

Here's Teagan holding up the certificate we gave him from Lightening McQueen and Tate wanted to hold it up too. Tate looks like a goober in the picture. 

Tate is a great supporter of Teagan going on the potty. Tate claps and yells, "Yay!" every time Teagan goes on the potty. The other day I was running off and Tate said, "Doing Mommy?" and I said, "I'm going to the bathroom." And  Tate yelled, "Yay Mommy!" and started clapping for me. lol Cute nut ball!

***Potty Update: Teagan only had two accidents yesterday (one pee and one poo), but last night when we put his training pants on, he still told me when he had to go potty and didn't even go in his training pants at all. Woo Hoo!

Overall, I actually have seen a HUGE change in Teagan this last week. I think we should've done this sooner. He really needed this step of independence. And on top of that, it has immensely made my bond and relationship stronger by being patient and encouraging. Teagan's self confidence has gone up 100% this week. The hardest part is over and it was well worth the effort to make it positive! I'm going to pat myself on the back to because it was HARD! :)  

 This morning they both took showers and tried to get dressed all by themselves. Teagan put his cool Spidey Undies on (compliments of Honey Lona & Papa Tom) and didn't realize he put them on backwards.

And Tatey looks like a beauty queen with his shirt. He kept yelling, "I DID IT! YAY!"

As you can see, NON of the pictures below turned out very well. I could never get all three of them to look at the camera at the same time. We got these new jammies from Honey Lona & Papa Tom.
