Since we've been mostly home we thought we'd give potty training another shot (after a couple weeks of psychological warfare).  SOLD!  Brennan's going on his own now all the time.  He still has accidents, but not very often.  We didn't have to intervene much.  I just told him if he wanted to wear diapers like a baby, I'd have to treat him like a baby in every other way: no more helping, pressing buttons, getting dressed, feeding the dog, feeding himself.  He likes being a big boy so that's all it took.  Kids with OCD take a long time to knock out of a routine... so, while it may seem like it'd be confusing to go back & forth like we did, it's actually a way of relieving stress from a highly routined OCD child.  I wish I would have done it this way with Tristan instead of the "never look back" way.  All our boys are routined little obsessive compulsive children.  They're a different breed.

Yeah Bennan! That's awesome:-) I am sure you are just as thrilled as I am to be rid of diapers!!! For Rvan it was all about being a big boy too. He wants to do everything himself. That was a big enough reward for him :-) you guys seem very prepared for your big move! Good luck and safe travels!!!
