I know the GBK is still working on this and can do it in theory, but still relies on Pullups some of the time. But I am so excited for you and the Bean! What a smart boy he is. (Just like his mama, of course.) You have hit the mothering jackpot - a potty trained kid!

My son, now 3, just decided to use the potty one day as well. And never looked back. And neither did I. I kept him in big boy underwear and simply put a waterproof liner on his bed at night for accidents. For the accidents he had I came up with a plan: http://memoirsofamoorings.typepad.com/memoirs_of_a_moorings/2006/10/potty_ooops.html. And when we go out, I find out where the bathroom is FIRST. Every kid is different, but encouragement works all the way around! Congrats! My son, now 3, just decided to use the potty one day as well. And never looked back. And neither did I.

Keep up the good work. Just keep him nekkid (or in underpants) and drinking and going every 30-60 minutes. I'd use pullups at nighttime and naptime for a while. And keep your sense of humor. My dd trained herself like this. Awesome! If you're worried about taking him places, you can get those plastic underwear to put over his training pants so that if he goes, it won't soak his clothes. I used these with ds but not with dd. With her I just kept putting her on the potty whenever we go to where we were going. Good luck! Wow! Congrats! Keep up the good work.

Every kid is different. Like, Lily refused to wear diapers at night and we just went through about a week of switching out towels in the night and changing sheets in the morning. Then she was done. Others need to keep dipes on for a while to handle night time. Just follow your instincts and do NOT push it. If he feels like it's all his doing, he'll stick with it, I suspect. YAY! So much fun. OH, and I was totally not looking forward to it until it happened and then it was awesome. Go with it.
