Potty Training - Check

That's right....we finally tackled the potty training issue with Clark.
He really had no interest and really wanted nothing to do with it when we finally decided to take the plunge a month ago, so Brian and I were expecting the worst.
Clark pleasantly surprised us though and has done a great job. Once he got the whole concept of go pee-pee in the toilet and you get candy...he was hooked. Then add chocolate money for poo-poo (those chocolate coins) and he was going all the time for rewards.
With the exception of a diaper at night still he has really been totally potty trained for a couple weeks now and is doing great.
He wanted to share is "sticker trains" on the blog, so this is for him.
Brian made him this really cute potty chart complete with Thomas the Train characters on it which Clark just loved.
Clark checking out his first page with Thomas at the end of this track.
The first page he got a sticker every time he went at all.
A completed first page with the second page added. This time James is waiting at the end.
The second page was stickers for going poo-poo in the toilet. Finally the completed three pages of track with Toby waiting at the very end. The third page he got stickers when he woke up from naps dry. Once it was all complete, Clark got a new Toby train car for his train set. He loves Toby, so he was pretty excited about his new train and that he filled up all of his stickers.
Good job Clark!
