Finally!

If only potty training was this cute! After my house smelling like a little box for weeks, swarms of flies taking up home in our back yard I have finally done it (well, Jackson has done it but I will take the credit because I was the one who was REALLY suffering). I have to say that I was sure that he would never get it. Don't get me wrong my son is smart, too smart. I am sure that he thought, "why in the WORLD, would I take time out of my busy schedule to use the potty when I can just stand right here and go and my mommy will deal with it later." Yeap he is one smart guy. But my son is just like his father and there is one thing that will get them to do anything...FOOD! I finally told Jackson that he would get an ice cream cone every time he went in the toilet. Yes, every time! I didn't care if Jackson had 3 square meals of ice cream everyday as long as he pooped in the toilet. I have to say that thus far in Jackson's short life of three years this has been THE HARDEST parenting obstacle, but success has never tasted so sweet! One down, one to go...well that is unless we have more kids...........hmmmmmmm
