Potty Time!!

For about 5 months or so(since the last time we tried) potty training has been close to a swear word in Kyler's eyes.... (cant remember our horrible effort? want to? CLICK HERE and it will take you back in time, magic right!)
*We have asked him from time to time, "Never, ever, ever i say!" would be all we would hear back in response.
*He asked maybe 3 to 4 times in the last 5 months to go pee, he never would. Not once.
*He did show an interest in underwear in the last 5 months...an interest in wearing them on his head. Who teaches kids to do that??
* He was asked by Grandmas, Uncles, Aunts, Friends, and many others when he was going to do it. "never" was his only reply.

SO, Monday (yes, yesterday) We were getting ready, for the day. I grabbed a diaper, pants, shirt and sat down waiting for him to come in to get him dressed. (may i add i grabbed the last diaper, and thought "oh to just be done with these with Ky" Yes, i really thought that. And then thought my order should be at the post office, found out it is later that day.).....in the mean time.... Kyler comes in, bypasses me and walks to his dresser pulls out the bottom drawer, pulls out McQueen underwear and comes over to me, tells me something like, "i want these" i give him a seriously look, he counters with a "yup" look.
In my head all i am thinking is "fine, i will let him. At least maybe he will notice when he pees and that will be one step in the right direction. I wont push it in the least, in fact i will just ask him to go, not making him get on the toilet (this is when the 'never, ever, evers' happened last time) Im going super chill. More chill than anyone would think a mother should be." I fully planned on changing lots of underwear, lots of pants, lots of poopy, wet yucky pants that day. But, i was feeling willing to do it, so here we go.
2 accidents before lunch. NO biggy. He pees on the toilet at nap time, wakes up wet ( i did put a pull up on, i am not that willing to clean up that big of messes.) He later goes in the bathroom all by himself and undresses and is on the toilet peeing!!!!! WHAT!!??  The rest of the story still knocks me flat with shock. He continued to pee the rest of the day. (might i add he loves that he gets to choose the colors of M&M's for his reward. These candies have been in a Mason Jar staring at him for 5 months and he is just loving that he get some now) He Peed before bed, put a pull up on, and HE WOKE UP DRY! Yes, my boy woke up dry. He pees this morning, eat some breakfast, started peeing in his pants, STOPPED and came and told me to help him 'hurry on toilet' and finished peeing. The rest of the day i would ask him if he needed, never doing more than that and i am proud to say he stayed dry the rest of today. He woke up dry from nap, he drove out to Salina-shopped-and back home about 2 hours of time and did perfect. He did say he really needed to go while we were in IFA so we ran to the toilet, but man those big hole toilets are just tooooooo scary for a little bummed almost 3 year olds, and he choose TO HOLD IT till we got home. And he did just that, the minute we got out of the truck he came in dropped his drawers and peed like no ones business. PROUD MOMMY to say the least.
He did this all on his own. At his own time. He is an amazing awesome little man. When he decides to do something he just does it. This is how he has been his whole life. I cant wait to see what he grows up to be...scratch that, i can wait. :) I am enjoying his little personality. I love his super happy smile accompanied by "You smile at me mommy, oh!! you smiled at me, yea!! I so happy" My heart is full of happiness for this kid. He is my big bud. He is wonderful, and not just cause i don't have to change his bottom anymore!!
I will keep you updated on our success's...i am thinking really positive here.
