Life in 20 Minute Intervals

So we have been potty training for a week. I am pleasantly surprised at how well it has been going. It helps that I set a timer for every 20 minutes, when it goes off Drew picks out a book and we head off the the potty, weather he has to go or not. In the last 2 days he has actually been telling me when he has to go, "Mommy, Poot" he says. When he does go he is so excited to help "dump" the pee into the toilet and then he helps me rinse out the potty bucket. He gets a reward of a big gummy candy or a Starbust when he does go pee. He has not managed to go #2 in the potty yet, however he has not had a #2 accident since the beginning either. I guess he holds it for his nap time diaper of his overnight diaper. By the end of the night Drew and I are so exhausted from the 20 min. intervals that we are so ready for sleep. Sophie has been so patient through this whole process, sometimes the 20 min. cuts into her feeding time but it is getting better! It feels like I don't have any time to get things done when that timer goes off so often. I have to remember its only for a short time and Drew is all the better for it. Next step Outings with a potty trainer! Oh how I hope nothing too embarrassing happens!
