Son finally asked to go potty now what?

I have been reading books about the potty and asking him if he wants to go for awhile now. He is 2.5 and has had little success until Sunday. I caught him and sat him on the potty for poo once and pee twice previously. Sunday he asked to go potty 3x and went pee twice and poo once all on his own. Now he hasn't said anything again. How can I encourage that to continue?

    Simple little incentives work- stickers, etc.

    Also, try to ask them to go potty regularly and maybe buy some pull-ups. My son loves his pull-ups. Also, when he started going good in his pull-ups, we told him we'd buy underwear. He totally flipped! We got a pack of pixar movie underwear and he loves them.

    It sounds like you have a good start, just keep encouraging!

    Good luck :)

    You just praise him and tell him what a big boy he is. Also just keep asking him every now and then if he needs to do his big boy job.
