Potty training has begun

Ben has to be potty trained for preschool this fall so we thought we better get started.  It has been a little over a week and he is doing great!  I created a chart for Ben to put stars on every time he is successful.  At the beginning we did a prize after he got a certain number of stars.  After the first week he doesn't seem to care too much about the stars and prizes anymore, he just knows this is what we do now.  The hardest part now is keeping the girls out of the way.  They hate to be locked out of the bathroom but if I let them in they get in the way, trying to stick their hands in the toilet, etc.  I look forward to the day he can do this without my help, but in the meantime I am THRILLED with how well it has gone.  He caught on very quickly!
