Unexpected

Carsen's IEP meeting came around this Fall and I had asked them to put him on the "potty!" I explained, nicely that it took me four years to get him to go #2, on the toilet.  They granted my wishes to place him on the potty before and after nap time, just like every other student gets to.  I didn't expect him to show results so soon!  Yesterday, I picked him up and his para whispered, "He went potty two times!"  I asked, "What!" Wondering if I had heard her right.  I was so excited that we had Matt pick up DQ on his way home from work to celebrate.  This may or may not be a coincidence, but we needed to treat it like it was real.  I came home from my evening workout and Carsen had gone again!  What a day!  Even better news...he did the exact same thing again today!  Three times, two days in a row.  He gave me high fives and lots of smiles when we talk about it.  It feels good to actually get the chance to start training him for real now.  We have had our moments trying and hoping but had to wait until we had more signs.  I am being hopeful!  Praying this stays!
