Potty training

Adam is offically potty trained!! I would say as of feb 23rd (26 months) he finally got it big time.
After playing with some of my cousins kids the on feb 9th,  we woke up the next day and he decided he wanted to wear big boy underwear.
We had tried this one other time and it was very unsuccessful .. as in 5 accidents in a matter of 3 hours. So we decided to just go with it this time.  Turns out, when they are ready, it's so much easier! 
He still had an accident every now and then but after about 2 weeks he started telling us when he had to go. 
We still use diapers at nap time and bed time but the majority of the time he is dry after his nap and even sometimes in the morning he is dry.
We started by putting him on every 45 minutes no matter what.  Then we went to every hour and then we kind of let him start telling us when he has to go. 
He does better at home than at school bit I'm sure that it's because he's busier at school and he is only sharing attention with one other child at home so its easier to get him on right when he has to go.
My goal was to have him potty trained by 2.5 but I'm happy to say we totally crushed that goal!
