Pee, Poop, Potties, and Pull-ups

Zane is finally doing really well on the potty. He's still having some accidents, usually on purpose, but we're proud of him. He's even been going during school and other places besides just home. We've been putting him in pull-ups now during some of the day to practice. We've realized that a candy bribe works ok, but bribing with phone calls works much better so we've been letting Zane call family members to tell them the good news. He loves talking on the phone already and especially loves getting praise when he gets to tell people that he went poop on the potty.

In this phone call, he's talking to my dad, Grandpa Jack, and his wife Kris. It's funny, because instead of just jumping right in and breaking the big news he always just starts telling a story about something totally random. In this call, he started telling about how he was doing the "Jumping Game" before he called them. Then he says he went poop on the potty, then realizes that "Grandma Kris" is there too. He tells them "I love you" and then "Bye."

He's also made lot's of calls to Grandpa Dave, my mom's husband. In this conversation, he tells them about the snow inside because we had just been playing that game. Then I think he says something like, "It's cold...on the floor" and then he says "But I'm Always" which is a song that he likes right now. Then he says something about his clothes, tells them the news, realizes that Grandma (my mom) is there and then says, "See you tomorrow" even though he wasn't going to...he just said it. :)

I still need to have him call his other grandparents, Gigi and Papa! That video is soon to come. :)
