Potty Training Boot Camp Day 4

Luke is regularly peeing on the pot. Still no poop-but we will get there.
He is using it to his advantage. Now when he has to sit in Time Out on the stairs, he says he has to pee. Oui-

We went out in....(dunt dunt dunt)....public....in big boy pants. I think I asked him every 2 minutes if he had to pee. I was so nervous. But he did great, and even used the big potty when Daddy took him. Phew.

Megan on the other hand. She did go for the lollipop she sat on the pot the whole time she sucked the lollipop. But no pee.

Did I mention we need a urine sample for some genetic testing. Have you ever had to do that on a child that is not potty trained? It consists of a U-bag, which is basically a baggie stuck to her pee pee area with tape. Yeah, she wore that thing all afternoon with no pee. Then I took it off- imagine ripping a band aid off your pee pee area. I think she was traumatized. Of course there wasn't enough pee, and she was not having any part of putting on another bag. So I thought- HEY maybe this will get her to go on the pot. Sike. Didn't work. I did however line the toilet with saran wrap in case she even did the slightest tinkle. I funneled juice and water into her to help. Finally I held her down kicking and screaming until we got something. WOO HOO -success. I emptied the contents into the infamous sterile cup and alas, we got about 1 cc. Hope it's enough! Not planning on doing that again anytime soon. Maybe we will revisit the whole potty thing another time with her. Yet another Mommy failure.
However, I plan to send Luke to school in big boy pants this week.
