My independent 2-year-old

Mason took it upon himself to (by some small miracle) potty-train himself. If this had been my idea, NO WAY would it have worked, but since it was his idea, it was amazing! One night (date-night) it was our turn to tend all of the kids (we do a co-op). Mason knew that one of the little girls who was coming was his age and she has been potty-trained for a few months now. I told him the kids were coming over and the first thing that he said was "Bree goes on the potty. I want to go on the potty." I said 'okay,' thinking it would last a half hour until his first accident, but NO! That was IT! He wore his undies all day, all night, and so on with NO accidents for an entire week! He since has only had a couple of small ones, but that was it! I am still amazed by it, we hadn't even worked on the potty thing before that night, I had NO interest in dealing with it. I am so proud of my big independent boy! (PS - I know I shouldn't, but I just HAD to post a photo if him in his big-boy undies, they are so cute!)
