Potty Training

I'm way overdue for an update. An unplanned trip to Omaha to see my alma mater win the College World Series had something to do with the delay, but that's not the topic of this blog.

We jumped right into the deep end with no pants from the beginning. Needless to say, we didn't leave the house much the first weekend. We were pleased to see that they got the concept pretty quickly. There were #1 and #2 accidents on the first day, but they started getting the hang of it even by the first night. M&Ms are their reward - 1 for a #1 and 2 for a #2 - and they never let us forget.

There will be several follow-up posts with stories and quotes, but the first one came on day 2. We have two potties, and they were arguing over which one belonged to whom. I said, "We don't fight over the potties." The response - and I didn't catch who said it - was, "No, we fight over toys!"
