Potty training update

Day 2: Only one accident yesterday in the morning. :)

Day 3 - today: Only one accident early evening right before bedtime (on Eddie's watch I might add), but it was a super successful day. Henry slept w/ us last night - that's a whole separate story - and woke up at 645 AM saying he had to go potty. I ran to the bathroom (this part stinks about having kids out of diapers) and took his night night pants off (they're really diapers, but we don't say the d word in our house anymore) and he peed. Great start. I had to work today at 3, so it would be his first time attempting the potty somewhere else and under someone else's watch. Thankfully, he was going to my good friend, Sheila's, house. She has a wee bit of potty training experience herself. So...success there, too! No accidents. He told her when he had to pee and kept his train underwear dry. YIPEE! Then, when Eddie got home w/ him he peed a few times, but had one small pee accident right before bed. Pretty good, I think, for the third day!

But, here's the cutest part: When Henry sits down on the potty he yells, "BOYS! BOYS! Come on!" and motions and calls for Owen and Emmett. Owen and Emmett being the best big brothers that they are come running, watch him pee/poo, then we all sing the potty song and hi five. However, by today, day 3, Owen and Emmett were all "Do we really have to come EVERY SINGLE TIME?". So, I bribed them with candy :).
