I do have a good excuse, though!) Since potty training will be a coordinated effort between us and school - with its wonderful structure and brilliant teachers - we'll probably wait until the next nine weeks term. We're in a year-round school, which is roughly nine weeks on and three weeks off. The current term ends around the end of June, so by the time we might be ready to start, it'd be close to the end of the term. Plus, the next break is four weeks rather than three, so even more reason since whatever work we do might fall apart during the break. So, it works out that we'll probably start sometime in August. We still do the 'sit on the J-Man throne!' routine every night after bath just to get him used to the concept. He peed in it again recently, so we're up to twice now! @Kristi – (Man, I am SO behind on responding to comments! I do have a good excuse, though!)
