Positive attitude and happy face on...check 9:00 am - floor and sofa protected and big boy underwear on

11:00 am - still only 3 undies down and doing ok. Spence likes sitting on the potty
11:30 am - still no pee in the toilet but positive attitude still in tact "What do I do with these things again?"

1:00 pm - 9 underwear down...I'm tired, not as grateful for upstairs laundry room
1:30 pm - is it nap time yet?...I'm exhausted!
1:35 pm - happy face gone, positive attitude fading fast for both of us

2:30 pm - all underwear is now clean again and ready for round 2 when the pee machine wakes up
6:45 pm - Mom leaves dad in charge and goes to the store.
8:00 pm - Mom returns...Spencer's in diapers, Dad didn't last 30 mins :).
8:15 - Mom introduces new "reinforcement"- little miss potty. A singing, just his size potty. He likes it. Then runs away and tinkles on the the floor but not to worry. He then runs to his potty, sits on it, and he potty's! Faith restored! Happy face returns.
9:00 pm - Tinkles in the potty - 5 Tinkles on the floor - 0

Potty and Mommy winning!
