On the Potty Train

We have been helping our little guy to be successful in the traditional rite of passage known as "Potty Training". The method used, which is working extremely well, is to remove the paper encumbrance below and leave it off, and cover up with a long tee shirt.
He has been wearing a variation of this outfit for a full week now (except at bedtime) and has almost no accidents. He thinks he is playing "Madden" with Grandpa here but has no idea that his controller isn't hooked up!
Aunt Kristy provided some reinforcement by making a little sticker chart for this fellow, who will be 3 in four months.
His Mom cleared her schedule and they stayed at home for the first few days of training with frequent reminders. He can now travel a bit and stay dry. On his own, he takes himself to the bathroom, preferring not to be nagged about it. Congratulations, G-man.
