Where's the Poop?

In the potty of course! Yes, for those of you who missed it, Potty Training 101 was offered last week at the Jones residence. We are at the tail end (no pun intended!) of our first week...and we are pleased to report that Thompson is doing awesome! We began last Wednesday with a bag of M&M's for rewards, put him directly to big-boy underwear and tried to keep him filled with fluids in hopes that he would learn what the "urge to pee" felt like. It was definitely trial and error - some hours were good, other hours were a mess (literally!). I think all in all we had about 5 mishaps. We were exhausted by the end of day one and wondered what we done! Perhaps he wasn't as ready as we thought. Well, Thursday came and went...accident free. Repeat for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and thus far today! He looks forward to using his "little potty" and certainly wants to do everything "by myself". In hindsight, it is clear that our timing was perfect. It goes without saying that we are so proud of him!
