At this point in the day we have accomplished #2 in the potty and #1 in the living room floor twice and outside on the deck once.  We've tried the salty and sugary foods all day, kool-aid to drink (he hasn't even finished one 12 oz cup yet), and so far all I can say is I've probably gained at least 5 pounds eating all the salty & sugary foods, and my tush is sore from sitting on the side of the bathtub reading books while he sits on his cushioned potty ring.  I think I have the short end of the stick here!!!  But when the timer goes off he turns it off and goes into the bathroom without being told, so maybe that's a plus.  My mom used the timer on Cole to potty train him when he was at her house, I didn't use it at home since I didn't have a timer at the time.  The new timer keeps beeping for about 2 minutes then shuts off automatically.  Oh well, only 6 more hours til bedtime, I think I'll make it through the day and hopefully make some progress this afternoon, since neither of the boys seem to be taking a nap today (gee I wonder if all the sugar is why!!), we can still work on it every 30 minutes.
