Potty Training

Benjamin hasn't had the desire at all to get potty trained so we bought him a pop up tent of Thomas to entice him to want to go potty. He went a couple of times and then lost interest in going potty. He just wanted to play with the train. So the Friday before conference I told him that if he went without a diaper until Daddy came home from work then we could go get ice cream. So all that day he ran around the house naked and went potty in the "Big Boy Potty" with only one or two accidents and when Daddy came home we went to get ice cream. We did the same thing Saturday and Sunday while we were home watching General Conference and he chose some ice cream cones and ice cream sandwiches that he could have as a reward for going potty and I think he only had one accident between those two days. So after the weekend I tried putting him in underwear and as soon as he had underwear on he went potty in his underwear. I took them off again and he doesn't have a single accident. His subconscience tells him that there's something on his bumb so he can go in his underwear or something. Well, I let him go some more just running around without pants on and we've occasionally tried to put underwear on without much success. Yesterday I put underwear on him and he went and sat on the potty without taking his underwear down and went potty. So that was a step in the right direction. Today, he actually ran to the potty and I told him to take his underwear down so he did and he went potty. So hopefully he will be completely potty trained soon. Here's a picture of Benjamin in his underwear. Yesterday we got some Buzz and Thomas underwear so hopefully that will be more incentive to want to wear them.
