I'm one proud mamma

So guess who's potty trained!? I am SO proud of Zackie! I've had potty training on my mind for awhile now but he's so stinking stubborn I was totally putting it off. Well, the other day Zack was talking about his buddy Logan who wears "big boy underwear" and said he'd like to wear big boy underwear too. So I figured I'd run with it and just put some big boy underwear on him and tried to get him to go potty but he gave me his all too common response "it's not working!!" So I just let him have an accident in his big boy underwear just to see what happens when you don't go potty.
Then my sister was nice enough to let us borrow her kid size potty. All he wanted to do all day was sit on that potty, the first time he saw it immediately took his pants and diaper off and had to sit on it (it was in my parents living room so I thought that was pretty funny!) So we spent the whole day Monday watching "Elmo's Potty Time" and reading stories about potty training.
I read a lot about it and a lot of people recommend setting a timer and having them go every 30 min so they don't have an accident. I tried that on Tuesday and it TOTALLY backfired. He refused to sit on the potty and was super mad at me every time I brought it up. I gave up and figured we'd try again later.
The next day he just started going by himself. He always tells me to "stay out there" and he goes potty, flushes the toilet, and washes his hands all by himself then will let me help him get his pants back on. That's Zack for ya, either he'll do it himself or he won't do it at all!
Anyway, he's been doing great! Only 1 accident in 3 days and he stayed dry for naptime and bedtime! I'm so proud of him, he seriously did it totally on his own. I don't even have to remind him to go, he'll just stop playing and "sneek" into the bathroom to go when he needs to. What a good boy!
He has already filled up his potty chart so now we are taking him to the zoo as his reward tomorrow, anyone want to come!? :)

Fishing

We had a fun overnight camping and fishing trip with the Nelson's and my family all together. We had the best luck I've ever had fishing. We seriously caught 5 fish within an hour! It was really fun!

I love this picture, the entire Nelson Family just hanging out. This is one of my new favorites!Yum, yum.
