Motivation

So, a little news on the potty training front. Luke continues to do fabulously; I'm still amazed. He's even staying dry at night and during nap time. So impressive, really. He is a little leary of doing #2 in the potty, which makes him basically hold it for days. We started offering incentive to encourage the #2 issue. He gets a cup of juice at the next meal and a new little car if he goes in the potty. Juice is a MAJOR motivator for Luke because they rarely ever get to drink it; we just drink water here. And apparently the juice and car are a major motivator for Joshua, too, because he's constantly asking Luke if he's gone, ready to go, needs to go. It's actually quite humorous. But at least the motivation is causing Joshua to encourage Luke in his new endeavors and be excited with/for him when he finally does it. I truly am grateful for how well Luke has done!
