Potty Training Success...finally!

Elijah is 3 years and 2 months old today. For the last few months I have been wanting to get him potty trained but he hasn't seemed interested. A while ago he began saying that he would start NEXT WEEK. After several weeks of this, on Monday morning when he woke up and said "wait til Next Week", I said "Today is next week. You have to wear underwear today." So, ever since Monday he's been wearing underwear. On Monday he had 6 accidents and never attempted to go to the potty. On Tuesday he had 6 accidents and didn't really try to get to the potty until the very last time at daycare and then he tried to go but he it was already too late. On Wednesday he had on girl pants and panties when I picked him up because he had gone through all 6 of the outfits that I had sent but had a 7th accident. That night I really wanted to give up. We stayed home from church because I knew that would be a disaster. Yesterday when I picked him up the teacher reported that he had tried to use the potty 2 times with some success. Last night - at home - he made it to the potty 2 times 100% successfully and he wasn't wet this morning when he woke up. He said, "look, I dry mommy" Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I am so excited. I think it was just a battle of wills and that making him wear the underwear and not going back to diapers worked! He is getting so big and soon I will have 2 big boys!!
