More and more Mase had been asking for undies and going longer with a dry diaper. We devised a plan/ reward and prepared to put it into action. Mase decided that when he no longer needed diapers, we would celebrate with a trip to Target for a special toy and new undies followed by lunch at Taco Bell - his favorite place to eat. While at the store prior to this, I'd found some little jelly pumpkins which quickly became known as " potty punkins" :

Mackenzie, who is more excited than any one else about potty training, set out to make a reward chart that would help us keep track of Mason's progress. Often times, I'll find Mason and Mackenzie both sitting on their potties, her reading an appropriate book like " Everyone poops" or " Find the poop":

Mason did famously on day 1. He had no accidents and many potty pumpkins. We even made a successful diaper-less trip to the store! All was well.
Day 2: Tummy virus strikes. It was messy. A lot of laundry was done.But we carried on the best would could.
A week later, Mason's tummy issues aren't totally resolved so we just follow his cues and requests. If his sweet tooth is active, lots of peeing is done because he has figured out pee=candy. He's working really hard to get to the potty in time and I think it won't be long before the Long household is diaper free!
