Deaken FINALLY goes in the potty!

Okay, if I talk to you on a regular basis, then you know the headache I have been going through with Deaken and his potty training process...or lack there of. If I have not talked to you, then I will summarize. Deaken is a very independent, ornery but sweet child. However, I have only been able to get him to pee in the potty a few times. Once he does it, it takes awhile for me to convince him to do it again. Also, he has been on this kick about taking his diaper off when he needs to poop and doing it on the carpet or bed. AHHHH! It has been terrible. I have had to shampoo my carpets and have had enough of cleaning up after him and I am at my wits end. BUT, today we had a breakthrough. He told me this morning that he needed to go potty, so I went and sat him on it and I sat down on the little step stool and waited(I was actually on the phone and didn't expect anything to happen). All of a sudden, he started to pee and I was happy...then he started to poop and I was ECSTATIC!!! I was jumping around and getting all excited. I feel like it has finally clicked with him. Of course, the first thing out of his mouth was "Candy?" Haha So, he got some candy and was soaking up all the attention. I called Craig and told him and he was so proud. It is so funny how things like pooping in the potty can make a mom so proud.
