Surprise!

Arriving back from Arizona, imagine our surprise when we learned that my dad had taken the time to potty train Ben! He is turning 3 soon and we have wanted to potty train him, but with my back problems and Brent never being home we just hadn't found the time.

Now my dad has a 'system' that he used on us as kids and so far it has worked every time. My sister-in-law and I call him the "Potty Whisperer." Ben had 1 accident the third day (after we got home) and hasn't had any since. He even insists on using the big potty and standing up "like Dad." We had to teach him to wiggle a little when he was done so he wouldn't get it on his underwear (which he insists on changing even if they are just a tiny bit wet.) We are sooo proud of him and so thankful for my dad's thoughtfulness. Thanks DAD!!!! We love you!
