Happy New Year 2013

Happy Pee Year!!! Oops, I mean Happy New Year!!! After focusing all day on getting someone potty trained, I forgot exactly what day it really was. All joking aside, it is so hard to believe it is 2013. I have been saying for weeks, well months really, that it was time to get Camden potty trained so I figured what better day to start than today - the beginning of a new year and the beginning of a new era (we hope). I must say by 10:30 am, I was feeling defeated and questioning what I was even doing. We had two accidents right off the bat this morning and he didn't seem to be getting the whole concept. But, by 11:00 am he finally used his potty after we moved it to the living room where all the action was. It was a small amount, and Shane referred to it as a nervous drip, but none the less it was potty. The first thing he wanted to do was pick out a sucker - what he has looked forward to for months!!! It has been our bribery tool and he knew that when he 'tee teed on the potty' he could get a sucker. The second thing he wanted to do was to call Mason and Braden and tell them the good news. Luckily, they both acted very excited and thrilled for him. I believe he may have had one more accident after that, and since then, I am proud to say that Camden has been a peeing machine!!!  So after a total of 8 calls to Mason and Braden (luckily there were a few times he forgot to call them) and 7 suckers later, he has definitely got the hang of this. As a matter of fact, he was just watching Jake and the Neverland pirates on his IPhone and stopped and told me he needed to potty - and sure enough, he did!!!! I could not be any prouder at this moment!!!

**A big thank you to Mason and Braden for talking to him each time he called them and showing enthusiasm. It really meant the world to him that they were excited.
