It's Potty Time

I've been saying for months that I would potty train Jude after Easter and hope to be done before we leave for the summer.  Easter came and passed and yet I didn't have the motivation to get going.  We finally decided to make a trip to the Dollar Store and buy a bunch of junk and prizes and make an attempt at it.  We only really started on Tuesday but he's been doing great.  Not done yet but really good progress.  Between him squeezing out only drops of pee so he can get the next prize and Silas "cheering him on" for prizes our bucket is nearly empty.  Every time he goes we all sing (Pee pee, pee pee in the potty, la di dah di dah di, pee pee, poo poo poooooooootttttyyyyy), and do a dance and then let him blow out a candle and pick a prize. So far he's still motivated.  We'll see how this next week goes!
How's that for a poop face?  Deep in concentration.  I have to say that it's pretty exciting knowing this is the last time I'll have to potty train a child!

Nice! I love your potty song! I will send over Parker so you can potty train him, then you won't be sad it is your last kid to potty train. Ha ha. Go Jude!
