potty training

we've been working on potty training this week. the past two days have involved lots of bac-out, pairs of big boy underwear, and laundry. there were no "saves" yesterday until the evening, when after two days of no poop, z got that look in his eye & i made him sit on the potty. he must've lost two pounds after going! he earns 2 m&m's for peeing in the potty, and 3 for pooping. today we took him to pasitos in a diaper, but supplied lots of shorts & underwear in case they wanted to mess with training. they put him in underwear, and he didn't pee once! they put him on the potty every 30 min, but he never went. j changed him into a diaper for the ride home, and that's where he finally peed. :( but it was impressive that he was able to hold it the whole time. i think he's aware of what he's doing and capable of controlling everything - he just doesn't want to go without diapers yet. if we are at home, aside from napping or sleeping at night, he's going to have to wear big boy underpants.

i envision another massive carpet cleaning session somewhere in the near future...
