Day 17 of the no poop in the potty crisis.....

Today Hammie had a pee accident in his big boy underwear, and couldn't remember where in the house he had it. After I searched the house for wet spots for twenty minutes he suggested maybe he had it outside and I should look there.

Later he pooped on the lawn.

We have decided to throw all the "positive reinforcement theory" garbage out the window and just lock him in the dog crate every time he has an accident until he learns.

Okay, not really. In fact the boys decided on their own to have a picnic with play food in the dog crate for reasons I cannot possibly understand. But then potty training is one of those things that if you don't find a way to laugh about it, you really could just cry.
