Day 1, post nap, hour 2 - D'oh!

Oh mommy!  I missed it again.  I wasn't supposed to leave the house at all.  Not at all.  But it's storming outside and I'm cranky about the way our yard was graded, so we went outside for a minute to look at it.  Wouldn't you know, that's when he peed.  We're on the potty every 30 minutes for 5-10 minutes and he pees or poops whenever we're not.  I tell him to go pee pee in the potty and he flushes it.  So I think the point is not getting across quite yet.  I think we need to find a way to get him to drink more so we have more opportunities.  He's on the potty now, but I think he's probably done peeing for the day.  It's 5:45, I'll get him off in a few minutes then we'll reset the timer.  After it goes off, we'll sit again then eat dinner then go up for bath time and bed.  I guess there are a few more opportunities but he hasn't been drinking much so I'm not going to hold my breath.

Over all, a disappointing day.  Not in him but in myself.  I didn't watch him very closely to look for signs of pooping and didn't seem to ever have the potty close enough to rush him off while he was still peeing.  We'll get a fresh start tomorrow.  Again, keeping expectations low and optimisim/patience high and see what happens.  Wish us good luck!
