Overall Ty is doing really well with his potty training. He pees in the potty independently about 98% of the time now, which we are very happy about. It's #2 (aka "woo" at our house) that is really keeping him from claiming the "potty trained" title. For some reason, he is afraid to do it in the potty. He will go off by himself when the time comes, do the deed in his pants, and then take the messy pants off wherever he is.
Yesterday after dinner Ty was outside playing in the backyard while I helped Jacob work out some kinks with his electronics. After I was done, I looked outside and saw Ty-- naked from the waist down-- standing at our back fence and chatting with our neighbor who was weeding nearby. Mortified, I called him in, cleaned him up, and got some pants back on him. Shortly thereafter it was time for me to put him to bed. As I was getting him ready for bed, I heard the back door open and shut. After Ty was finally in bed, I went to find Jacob. He was in the back yard-- completely naked-- getting a kick out of watching his shadow jump up and down when he did... and our neighbor was still out weeding. I don't even want to know what he and his wife think about our crazy family!
I know this isn't really funny, but... that really is funny! Did I tell you about what one of my brothers did for potty training #2 for one of his kids? Cut a hole in the diaper, had them sit on the potty for the moment of truth - kid thought it was just going to be going in the pants like normal, but there was a surprise at the end. Apparently it worked! Don't know if you can catch Ty beforehand though...
