Toilet trained finally

At 3 years and 5 months old, EJ is finally toilet trained. Whew.

I know it is a little bit late but we didn't want to pressure him. We wanted him to be ready before we seriously trained him.

It's been almost three weeks now that EJ has been going to the toilet to do his thing. He still needs assistance to lower down his brief and shorts but the rest he can do it on his own. LOL!

I am really happy and proud of this new milestone for him. For one, there's no more diaper expense. Second, I wouldn't have to carry big bags (with diapers and wipes) whenever we go outside or travel. And third, no more diaper rash worries.

Training EJ was a bit hard at the start. He's quite stubborn. He didn't want to wear his brief. And he didn't want to go to the toilet. We praised him a lot and sometimes used bribes (ice cream, cakes) just to make him go to the toilet.

I guess the success on toilet training depends on consistency and patience.
