Potty Training Semi-Success!

Most of you know that Dave has been potty training... for a while... almost 1 year to be exact. For lack of forced motivation (I think) he hasn't really tried to go on his own and definitely wouldn't try to go "#2" in the potty. Mike is out of school for a month or so, so he decided to lay down the law last week. For about 3 days Dave was on a steady diet of capri-suns, sans underpants, diapers or shorts.

Day number one brought a few accidents on the floor, both varieties. I came home from work to find Mike falling over on the couch. I asked if he was ok and he just mumbled, "I hate potty training.". Dave stopped having pee pee accidents by day number 2 and on day number 3 he went "#2" in the potty chair outside of my parent's house. Hallelujah! We are still having some accidents (like when we had to rush home from the park yesterday because I didn't think Dave could squeeze his little cheeks hard enough to hold it in), but I think we're over the hump.

Who knew the bowel habits of a three year old could be so interesting! I'm sure you're all enthralled. (Just be thankful Mike made me spare you the actual proof of defecation completion in picture form.)
