Potty Training ... Uhg!

I'm new to this potty training a boy thing and it's been quite an experience. He is just fascinated by his sudden control of something that can greatly upset his mother. It is constantly on his mind. Every time he passes something with a hole or a cup or an opening a light goes off in his head and he says to himself, "I'm going to pee in that!". The girls were all trained at about 2 1/2 without too much of a problem. I was going to wait until Jack was a little older and more bribeable until I tackled this but he was starting to take off his diaper and mark his territory in his sisters' bedrooms. Then he'd go and announce to them, "I just peed in your room.".

It has had it's ups and downs but I think he's come a long ways. Every week I think about where we were last week at this time and we are making progress.
We are finally able to leave the house and run errands without accident as long as we make bathroom stops every hour or so. Yay!!
You gotta stay warm and cozy. Tessa's jacket is perfect!

We're just now starting to do this. I've been waiting forever to get Dallas to try!

We haven't gone anywhere and he still needs a diaper at night.

Never have had a cleaner toilet than this week! :)
