Potty Training Progress

I gave up on the whole potty training thing for a while. I was scared I just might start beating my boys. But we're back on the bandwagon this week. I thought we were really making progress when Adam came inside to go on the potty "like Riley" (standing up). Holy smokes! Maybe something has finally clicked! We did the excited potty dance and gave treats for dry undies and the whole shebang.

A few minutes later I heard cheering coming from the backyard so I went to check it out. Riley was cheering, Luke was looking hard down the window well and Adam was running away.

Me: "Uh, guys... what's going on??"
Riley: "Adam did poops!"
Luke: "Down the window well!"

Sure enough, there were his clean undies laying on the ground and a not-so-clean mess 7 feet down. And the poor kid has a big mark across his behind from the grate covering the window well. I couldn't even think to scold him. After all, he did get his undies off and sit to do his business - it's improvement.
