Yes, it has finally happened, Elliot went poopy on the potty!!! It happened yesterday. I have to give all the credit to Ray. I actually had given up on potty training about a month ago (not really given up, it was more like taking a break...). Ray was home all week last week and he laid down the law (in a really nice way). He banned Elliot from playing on the Wii and computer until he pooped on the potty and he made Elliot clean himself up all by himself every time he pooped in his pull-up (Elliot TOTALLY hated that). I have to admit I was skeptical at first and saw the whole thing as more work for me eventually. He got Elliot to sit on the toilet (which he has previously completely refused to do) by letting him hold his poopy presents and reading him books. Yesterday all his efforts paid off when Elliot pooped on the potty. The best part is, he did it again today!! He did poop in his pull-up earlier today, but I figure this will resolve itself eventually. I am thrilled beyond belief by this!! I was sure he would be wearing pull-ups to kindergarten!! Great job Elliot!!!

Haha, sounds about right mom! Woooooohooooooooo for Elliot!!!!!! Way to go!!! That's so exciting Becky, seriously, that is said with no sarcasm. He's such a cute boy.
CONGRATS to Elliott! My kids are super late trainers (probably b/c I don't train them :)), so I too had the "pull-ups" in Kindergarten fear!!!
WAY TO GO RAY! I still think Ray sounds like such a cute dad! Perfect mix of fun and disciplinarian...
Love the pic's of your sweet new Naomi. Almost makes me want to have another one!!!
