Success
Last Tuesday Evan came up to me and told me he needed to go potty. He has done this before, but this time he was dry and he went potty right away :) I asked him if he wanted to wear underwear and he said yes! So, to make a long story short.... he has worn underwear everyday since with very few accidents (I can think of four). He still wears diapers when we leave the house and when he sleeps.... but he did make it through a trip to the Library and a visit to a friends house last night while wearing underwear. He also went potty twice at church and he kept his pull up dry the whole time... Yeay!!
We haven't gotten rid of the diapers yet because 1. I was NOT ready for this and 2. He still hasn't gone #2 in the potty :( I've decided that I am not going to push this too hard. It was up to him and we are doing it his way for now. In a couple weeks when things have settled down around here (with Dallas' exam) I would like to say goodbye to the diapers and potty train Kiah as well. (Ha ha, I say that now! Who wants to bet I change my mind??)
On Wednesday we made this chart and by Friday Evan had part of it completed! Success!! Now we just have to work on the second part... who wants to bet how long that one will take? (Oh yeah, Evan is still waiting for his purple ice cream cone as a reward... where do you get purple ice cream??)

Check out Silver Dipper (by the Chase Bank on 52). I know they have a superman flavor that has blue and red...Maybe you can convince him it's purple?
P.S. Congrats! My SIL has been battling this with her 4 year old to no avail.
yep, silver dipper has purple ice cream (actually its frozen yogurt, but Amy loved it).
Best of luck!
Thats awesome!
Jessica, I saw this and it reminded me of your dilemma a while ago about what to do in your living room. Well, in case you haven't decided yet, you should check this out :)
