Potty Training.
Yes, it's going to happen folks. Peter's lead therapist is coming over on Saturday and Sunday for potty training 101. Ben and I (and daycare) have been tracking Peter's food/water/poop/pee for the past week as the therapists review them daily for "data". We are prepared with incentives (ideas from the therapists) such as dollar store presents, stickers and a new season of Spongebob Squarepants on DVD. Peter's two favorite things to consume in the whole wide world are grapes and juice so he hasn't had those for over a week...just so we can surprise him with those treats too. We/therapist will be checking him every 15 minutes both days and if he is dry in his underwear, he gets a sticker. If he is wet, we will take a sticker away from him. Then, when he ACTUALLY goes potty on the toilet, he'll get to start picking prizes. Man oh man...it might just be a VERY long weekend. Please pray for us! (And pray for Peter too...because he's not really into this...) I'll post again after the weekend to fill you in on how he did! -- and how WE did too! Ha!
