I do have a potty update, but something much more exciting happened today. This is going to be a long post so strap in and hang on. Or click that back arrow in the upper right hand corner of your screen, I promise, you won't hurt my feelings. But not until you read the first part of my post.
No I wasn't there, and no I didn't take any of the pictures. But it's still very exciting! My Dad got a hole in one today playing golf with Tim. A HOLE IN ONE!! Here are the stats for any golf players out there. Hole number 17, Par 3, 147 yards with an 8 iron played down hill.
Here is the hole where the magic happened.
Dad has gotten two hole in ones in his entire life. His first one was with his dad, the second was with his son. He said it couldn't have been more perfect! Maybe his next one will be with a grandson! :)
While Dad was taking a nap Tim ran out and got this plaque for Dad. He emailed me the above pictures from his phone and I sent them to Walgreen's to get printed. The plaque has the pictures, the score card and the ball dad shot with. Great idea Tim!
Congratulations Dad!! I know how exciting it was for you!

Now on to the potty training. Today started good, got very frustrating as the day went on but looks like we are going to end on a high note.
Cael woke up dry and we headed straight for the potty. He sat there for a hour, yes my friends I said an hour. Diego kept us busy for part of the time and then we read and sang some songs. He ended up having a TBE, so that was exciting!
He had an accident around 11:30. We were playing and he told me he had peed so we ran to the bathroom. There was a very small amount on the ground and kept telling me "I stopped my pee". I was very proud of him for stopping when he realized what was happening. The only problem was he wouldn't go again. I really didn't want to head into nap time without him going again but he just refused. I just knew we would wake up from nap time with a diaper full of pee and poop! To my surprise there was very little pee and no poop.
During the afternoon I tried and tried to get him to pee in the potty but he was having none of it. He sat and sat on the potty but never did anything. Steve came home and he tried a few times to get him to go, no luck. I was prepared (and pretty grumpy about it) for an accident to happen any time. We at dinner and started watching Toy Story 3. Half way in we took a potty break that was going to include some ice cream. Cael got on the potty and soon after Steve's phone started ringing. When I came back Cael said "Mom, I peeing". Sure enough, he was letting it all lose. We had another FBE!!! So exciting!
So for today we had two successes and one accident. Not to shabby if you ask me. I still think he should be going more than twice a day, but I will take what I can get for now. We are for sure seeing progress!
Now, if we can get some poop in the potty. I am going to be SO tempted to take a picture of it.
p.s. Thank you husband for giving my post a title
