Potty Training Update

Well, I wish that my update included a potty training miracle, but alas, it does not. Thank you to all of you who have sent encouraging words and advice. It is greatly appreciated! I have taken the past couple of days off from training. We have been out and about more the past couple of days and it is very difficult to be hard core when not at home. We have continued taking Andrew at regular intervals, but haven't made such a big deal out of it.

We tried using a potty chart where he earns a sticker for every successful visit to the bathroom. We explained that if he goes a certain number of times, he could earn a prize. Well, being a little smarty pants, he thought if he just stayed on the toilet and dribbled continuously, that he could quickly earn his stickers. We had to the alter the rules and make it clear that dribbles don't count in this game! And so the battle continues. In the meantime, here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks.

Andrew told Keith, "This is the best swing chair ever!"

Finger painting is very serious work!


Yes, Jonathan is enjoying a little pizza crust.
Turns out pizza crust isn't quite as messy as biter biscuits.
