That's what my talkin' bout!

Ryker is potty-trained! Woot Woot! I've been waiting to post this, just hoping we don't go back to diapers, but my little boy is doing amazing! I've been saying that I just didn't think he was ready, but he has definitely proved me wrong. I think the main reason for his success is that he wants to be a big boy so badly - he loves wearing his "unders" and he's so proud of himself when he goes on the toilet.

It all began the weekend my parents were in town. Ryker said something Dad didn't understand and Coleton interpreted it as Ryker saying, "I'm looking for somewhere to poop." Coleton suggested he try the toilet. We figured it'd be the same as the other times we suggested he use the toilet, but this time he really went! We all made a big fuss about it and I let him start wearing his unders the next few days. He loves going to the bathroom with Daddy and loves all the celebrating. He's only had a few accidents over the past couple weeks and lets me know when he has to go. That's been the best part - I haven't even had to stay on top of it, he knows when he has to go. Which is so crazy to me because we've tried going to the potty so many times and he just hasn't been able to do it. It just clicked. I've been dreading potty-training little Ryker and, it turns out, the kid pretty much trained himself. That's what my talkin' bout!
