I blogged about starting Ben back on his potty training in February after months of delaying it (Alyson came along in September and I had to pause Ben's potty training since then) and even listed down some short, medium and long terms goals that I looked forward to accomplishing with Ben.
Then I also blogged about the precious sight I get to see - Ben finally pooping in his potty! (instead of diapers which he always insisted on)
And then I revisited those goals I set in February against the progress in early May this year and checking off the ones we achieved so far (progress in about 3 weeks):
18th May 2012-Ben standing on a small stool to pee into the toilet seat. Sigh... I need to change the toilet seat cover as the hinge is broken and can't be put up!

Ben rarely takes his afternoon naps nowadays but there are few times he naps (during our recent trip) without diaper on.

To do this once he is used to being around the toilet seat. |
Achievable! To continue this...
I do however need to sit on the toilet seat with him as the children toilet seat cover I bought him last year does not fit well on our toilet seat. Plus it gives him assurance mummy's around. He has yet to poop into the toilet seat though...
|
| Long Term: To go out in public without diaper and potty |
Achieved! Out in public for 3 times without diapers! And I don't have to lug a potty along! Yay! |
Completed! |
| Long Term: To go diaper-free during his bedtime |
To do this once he is diaper-free during nap time. |
To try this task soon... |
So there you go, looks like we are getting almost all of the goals soon!
Thank God for this and for my dear boy to be so good in following through his potty training!
We are all so proud of you, Benjamin!
