Every time Catherine would rev up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour. - Cousin Eddie, Christmas Vacation
Let me start out by saying that Deana is doing a wonderful job of potty training (potty training Cooper, that is, she has been using a toilet for several years now). This is evident by the fact that she made more progress in the two hours after I left for work this morning than we did all weekend (while I was there). As of noon today, he had peed in the toilet twice, with a couple of instances of slight accidents with recognition, before finishing in the toilet.
The method that has worked (so far, he tends to lose interest in things quickly) is to set the timer on the microwave for twenty minutes, and try to use the potty when the timer goes off. My only fear is that years from now he will have a Pavlovian response in a gas station and pee himself when a trucker's burrito is ready.
A successful trip to the potty also results in a treat, currently a dark chocolate Hershey's Kiss. Hopefully, things continue to go well so the little man will be completely potty trained before he becomes diabetic.
