I've been receiving quite a few unprompted, sincere I-love-yous lately. It makes the whining moments much more tolerable.

Potty training is still going pretty well. I have to remind myself sometimes that it's only been two weeks and that the part of me expecting him to have it completely mastered by now is highly unreasonable and obnoxious. We've had many days with only one accident. None without any accidents though. That's the goal that's eluding us. Monday I started bribing him to poop in the potty because most of his accidents were of that variety. He'll lie to me about it while he's doing it. So I offered a trade: poop in the potty, chocolate in the hand. This has helped tremendously. He's made it to the potty quite a bit more.
