Very Bad Things...

That's what I find myself saying to Jack ALL THE TIME now. "Jack, have you been doing VERY BAD THINGS again?"

While in the shower today, he found a pen in the basket on my night table (I really thought that basket was Jack-safe). He used the pen to scribble all over the quilt on our bed. I only washed that quilt a few days ago and laundry *wasn't* on my list of things to do today. *sigh* But I guess it is now!

On a happier note - Jack has been using the potty like a pro before his bath each night! He runs in there and pee-pees before I even have the chance to get my things gathered and in behind him. Then it's lots of high fives and cheering! Well, we've been doing that for a week so I decided to add a "potty time" to the routine. I figure every week I'll add a potty time until he's going on the potty throughout the day and not in his diapers. If this is a really bad way to potty train, feel free to NOT let me know. I'm kind of at the end of my rope and a bit raw on the subject.

So anyway, I decided to add bedtime to the potty routine because he was soaking through his diaper EVERY night and waking up soaked. So he sat on the potty and not ONLY did he do pee pee, but he also did poopie-doopie! BOY, was he ever excited! He got TWO M&M's for that! AND he didn't soak through his diaper this morning! So I'm finally feeling like I must be doing something right!

Go Jack!! Woohoo!! That's terrific. I am still working with Mark. He only goes pee pee in the potty for now. If he has to go #2 he asks for a pullup. I have tried to sit him on the potty and he WON'T go!!

Not only am I NOT going to tell you it's a bad way to train, but I am gong to copy you and try it with Alex! :)

Or he'll be the only kid NOT using the potty by kindergarten!
