we have success!!

Henry went #2 in the toilet!!!!! I was desperate for him to get the hang of all of the toilet training stuff and especially how to relax and just poop on the potty. I tried everything: candy rewards, endcouraging words, stickers, threats ;-) and even showing him how to strain if he needed to. Then, I thought maybe I could encourage it by telling him that if he went poop in the potty and didn't poop in his pants we could go get a big dump truck at the store. That seemed to spark something. He said, with his hands in the air, "OK!!!" and not 1 hour later he purposely strained and pooped in the pot!!! Followed by 3 more poops in the toilet later that day and no poop accidents since. We are so proud of our 3 year and 2 month old boy!!! And I think he's pretty proud of himself too!
