I totally forgot to mention one BIG part of potty training Jax - and that was HUGE celebrations and rewards every time he went in the potty and he got to call whoever he wanted and tell them. It was usually one of the Papa's (Dan's dad or my dad). So randomly during the day - they would get calls with Jaxon saying with excitement that he went poop or pee on the potty! We also had some new Thomas train tracks for when he pooped on the potty because this was a very big deal for him - and when he would go pee on the potty we had little treats we would let him pick.
However you choose to reward your child during the process - I think it is a HUGE part of them being successful - and even though it gets really old after the 20th time being really excited and making a big deal out of it... I think it really helps. I still make sure to tell him how amazing he is for continuing to poop on the potty even though it was something scary for him but he overcame that fear :)
