Picture Perfect Potty Training (well, almost)

Yep, we're still here in the bathroom for much of the day, so I thought I better capture a picture of this "fun" experience.  :)  Nathanael always likes to have a few essential items when he is using the potty:  a book or three, a sippy cup, his cool-guy glasses, and his new buddy "the pooping duck."  The pooping duck has been a huge asset to our potty training success lately.  It's a duck that my mom made for us years ago for Easter.  You fill it up with jelly beans or large M&Ms, and then kids give it a squeeze and marvel as the candy gets pooped out the back end! :)  Gross, I know, but kids love it, and it has helped motivate Nathanael to go #2 better than all the other bribery tricks we have tried.  Nathanael is doing great with peeing on the potty and staying dry throughout the day, but the pooping is still a challenge.  I hope with the help of the pooping duck, we will soon be able to have potty training perfected.  Until then, we'll just try to laugh, enjoy the ride, and take a few pictures along the way! :)
