Mid-day report...

It's almost too good to be true...he is doing GREAT!!! He didn't respond well at all to the" every fifteen minute reminder to sit on the pot method" that I used with Amelia, but is doing awesome with his own "every thirty minutes tell mama that I feel it coming and run to the potty and go" method! I will take that over the stress filled horror that was was the first few days of training Amelia! He even went poo poo in the potty on his own and though he was obviously a little distressed about it, about 98% of it made it into the potty!

Amelia is such a help. She is needing to go frequently as she is drinking a lot of lemonade too, and so he follows her lead a lot. They are also playing with their animals a lot doing role play about going to the bathroom, which is quite amusing:)

It's funny because neither of mine have been super motivated by treats or praise or anything, really. It's like they do it just because they know they need to/ have to and then go on with life. Neither ask for treats after they go, but sometimes are motivated by them to sit down. Just an observation (because I will forget immediately if I don't write it down).

Oh, Sam does not like putting on, pulling down his underwear...so that will be a challenge. Any tips? I am mostly letting him go without for now.

Better run, bath time is ending! Jen
