Potty Training almost over!!

Jonah, our sweet little big baby boy bundle of joy is almost potty trained!! Finally!! After way more than a year he really got the hang of it just now I guess!

We are poopy-accident-free since about 3 weeks in a row and daytime pee training does go well, too! Only when we are out and about or being real busy at birthday parties he pees inside his diapers/underwear but at home he is only using the bathroom for all of his needs! Just now he came down from playing upstairs, pants and underpants at his knees telling me he needs to go pee...and THAT is an indication to me that he really got it!
During the night he still pees into his diapers, even he was already dry during the night for 3 weeks in November!

For every poop he got a toy (Matchbox car or such) and Olivia tells him to close his eyes before getting the surprise into his hands...here some facial expressions:



The toy really made a difference since candy definitely was not a big deal. He still gets one piece of candy for every pee he does into the toilet but even when I say 'no, we already brushed teeth (at nighttime), he does not mind to not get candy but an extra tickle from Mama.

By the way:
After the unsucessfull re-uniting of Jonah with his 'wishie (fishie)' I can happily report that Jonah definitely took to the fish again in January. His fish is everywhere Jonah is but we leave the fish definitely in the car and don't take it outside with us! Lesson learned!!




Oh, and here are the kids all dressed up and ready to go swimming...sad thing is that I never planned of going to the pool :-( But they have fun running around in their swim suits (and no, Jonah does not wear this to the pool, he wears normal swim pants but for dress up swim pants are just too unfancy!).

And to a real dress-up the right assessories need to go with it, too...duh!
