He did it!!! As with most things with Beckham, he did it in his own time, but he did it! To give some background, Beckham was due October 25th and didn't arrive until November 2nd (and even that took prompting). He moved into a big boy bed in January last year and gradually over the past year he has progressed from hour long bedtime rituals and multiple getting-out-of-beds to a 5-10 minute bedtime and staying in bed. Over the past month he has nearly eliminated coming in our bed in the middle of the night! Woohoo!As for potty training, we started October last year (nearly 6 months ago). He didn't take to it easily, but we kept strong about it. We went from stickers to candy to money to whatever the heck it would take for the stinker to make his pees and poops on the potty (mostly to no avail). In true Beckham style, something clicked one day and he started telling us nearly every time he needed to go potty- even the poops! Hooray for Beckham! He still has the occasional accident, but now they are true accidents (not hiding in the toy closet or behind the piano with his eyes closed).
**Scott and I are super excited to NOT be hand-washing poopy underwear in the sink 2-3 times a day any more!

We have hour long bedtime rituals and getting in our bed multiple times a night! Help! I think it may never end. Anyway, congrats to Beckham, or mom and dad for not having to clean poopy undies! YUCk!
Jakob still comes to our bed and often we will find Ollie in there also. as far as the poopie undies- THROW THEM AWAY!!! they do not cost much and that is just gross! my little frugal sister!
If I threw away every pair of poopie undies- Holy cow! For a while there, EVERY poop was in his undies. I'd have to be rich to afford that!
