Potty Training 701

We're now in month 7 of full blown potty training; we've made some progress but it stills seems like the end goal is sooo far away.  We have Justin sit on the potty every 30 minutes and 9 times out of 10 all we have to do is say "J it's potty time" and he stops what he's doing to run upstairs to the bathroom. 

J's gotten so much better with his aim and knows how/where to hold his penis to not make a mess.  I can't tell you how nice it is to not have to help him get on the potty or stay in the bathroom with him for an extended period of time before he actually goes. 
  
The new rule is underwear ONLY while at home but he's still wearing diapers at night.  And unfortunately he's still wearing Pull Ups at Carlene's since she only puts him on the potty twice a day but I'm working on getting that changed. 

So what made the difference; last month Carl bought a potty seat that fits into the big toilet and now J is excited about using the big potty. After the first week Carl was patting himself on the back saying "good call, I should've bought that sooner". Yeah, I wish he would've bought that sooner too.
