Aidan's Wearing Underwear!

Dave reminded me yesterday that I needed to post Aidan's big news. As many of you know, Aidan is developmentally delayed in many areas. He is extremely stubborn and likes to do things his own way and on his own schedule, which is why we've had such difficulty in getting him interested in potty training. Well, he started going to preschool at the beginning of April and they take all the kids to the bathroom every thirty minutes there to keep from any "accidents" happening. They sent home a note telling us so send him in underwear and that he was "ready". All this was happening while my mom was visiting and she made it her mission to get Aidan potty trained. She tried many methods, ie: bribery, flattery, praise, but the only thing that worked was when she used a washable brightly colored marker, drew a target on a square of tiolet paper, and told him to shoot the target with his pee. He enjoyed watching the water change colors, and eventually, he went on his own, without even needing a target. He almost never has "accidents" and we're grateful to my mom and so proud of Aidan!
