"Good job, buddy!" Sharon high-fived him and put his dry diaper in the trash. "Let's go see if Carter's awake." She scooped James up and walked into his room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sharon woke with a start when she heard James's little feet running to the potty. She drowsily looked at her phone. She'd been asleep for two hours. She waited a few moments before stumbling down the hall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sharon read for a little bit before making lunch for herself and the boys. Once they'd eaten, gone potty, and were sleeping in James's bed, Sharon lay down on the couch for a little nap, herself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sharon helped Carter wash his hands and took him back to the play room. "Remember, Carter, I'm not going to make you try to potty anymore, except before your nap. You can go to the bathroom by yourself whenever you need to, but, if you pee-pee in your pants, then I'm going to start taking you again." Sharon got another cup of coffee and stretched out on the couch in the play room with her book while the boys played. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"Well, honey, I trusted you to use the potty on your own yesterday morning, and you went potty in your pants twice. But, if you'll pee-pee for me now, then I'll stop taking you and see if you can keep your pants dry by yourself. If you wet your pants, then I'm going to start taking you every thirty minutes again."

Anna rolled her eyes. "Like yesterday, there are several extra outfits and a couple of pull-ups in his bag, in case of whatever. I kept making him go potty every thirty minutes after we got home yesterday, and he really got annoyed. I hope he'll do better today." "We'll be fine. James actually did much better than usual yesterday. I think Carter being here gives him extra motivation to make sure he pee-pees in the potty and not in his pants." "Thanks, Sharon. I'll see you guys this afternoon." Once Anna was gone, Sharon did a few things for work, then prepared to relax for the rest of the day. She'd already taken Carter to the potty twice and went to take him for a third time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sharon got breakfast out of the oven and made plates for her and James. Anna arrived with Carter soon after they'd eaten. "Be a good boy," she admonished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"Good boy. Let's go eat breakfast." Sharon put James in his booster seat at the table and gave him some milk while she finished with breakfast.

"Good job, buddy!" Sharon praised. She didn't remember hearing him scrambling for the bathroom earlier, but he could have lost control before he even made it out of his room. She took him to his room, removed his pajamas and wet diaper, and cleaned him up with a wet wipe before helping him into training pants, shorts, and a t-shirt. "Are you going to be a big boy and keep your pants dry today?" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"It's okay, sweetheart. You were sleeping." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sharon discreetly checked his diaper, not surprised that it was wet. He must've been tired from playing with Carter, as he'd gone to bed earlier than normal the night before and slept later than usual this morning. It was still a little warm, so she figured it couldn't have been too long since he'd wet it. Seeing that he probably didn't need to go potty yet, she held him for a few minutes before getting him dressed for the day.

Sharon was sipping a cup of coffee in the kitchen when James toddled in. She picked him up and kissed his forehead. "Hi, honey. Sleep good?" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anna took Carter's bag from Paul. "Thanks, you guys. And I will certainly return the favor soon. Bye, James, see you in the morning!" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"He was great," Sharon said, patting his back. "He was so good, we want him to come back and play with James again tomorrow, if he wants to!" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anna leaned down and picked Carter up. "Hey, my big boy! Were you good today for Miss Sharon?" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
"Thanks, Sharon," Anna replied. "I'll keep that up tonight and tomorrow. I think it did both of us some good to have a break from each other. I know he's not having accidents to make me angry, but he can also control it, for the most part, so it's hard to stay patient. I did miss him by this afternoon, though." Sharon nodded. "I know. It's so much easier to be patient with other people's children. James is still too young to have a good grasp on the potty thing, but it's hard for me to stay patient sometimes, too. Why don't you let me have another day with Carter tomorrow? Maybe we can make a little more progress, and I got so much work done with him here to entertain James. I won't have so much to do tomorrow and can relax a little bit." "Let you?! He is all yours! I'll reciprocate with James sometime next week." "Sounds good." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anna arrived to pick up Carter soon after Sharon and James got back outside. "How was he?" "He wet his pants twice this morning, and his pull-up was wet when he woke up from his nap. I think he's honestly holding it until he can't anymore, he just won't go to the toilet when he knows he has to go. I didn't fuss at him at all, but I did clean him up and change him a little more slowly than normal, hoping he would see that it was faster to stop playing and go potty than to wet his pants." Anna rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry. What about this afternoon?" "I started making him try to potty every thirty minutes. He had to either sit for five minutes or pee-pee before he could get up. He didn't like it, but I told him that I wouldn't make him do that next time he came over if he could prove to me that he would go potty by himself before he wet his pants. I think he's starting to see that using the potty is more convenient than the consequences of having an accident." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sharon quickly got James cleaned up, rinsed out his wet clothes, and helped him step into dry training pants and shorts. "There we go, sweet boy. All better. Do you still have to pee-pee a little bit, or did it all come out?"
-
"Come on, let's try to make it--oh, honey." Sharon knelt beside James when she saw the wet stain spread through his fingers and across his crotch. "Honey, you did so good today. You kept your pants dry for most of the day, with a friend to distract you and without Mommy reminding you to go potty! It was just an accident. Let's go change."

Sharon jumped up. "Come on, sweetie, let's go potty," she urged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"What?" Sharon murmured. She was oblivious to the boys, since Paul was watching them for the time being. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"James also hasn't pee-peed in his pants today, except for during his nap," Sharon explained. "Next time you're here, if you can show me that you'll go potty by yourself and not wet your pants, then I won't make you go so much." She led Carter to the bathroom and waited.

"They've played together very well," Sharon answered. She took a few sips of beer before continuing. "Carter didn't use the toilet once this morning, so I've been taking him regularly this afternoon, hoping he'll get tired of going so often and start going by himself again. And James wet during his nap, but he hasn't had any other accidents. He has a lot of accident-free days now, but I'm also usually reminding him to pay attention to whether he needs to go several times a day. I didn't remind him once today, though. I think he's been careful not to have an accident with Carter here....Speaking of which, it's about time for Carter to take another potty trip." She set her beer down and called for Carter to come to her.

Soon before Sharon expected Anna to arrive to pick up Carter, she took the boys outside to play. She was going stir crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sharon continued to make Carter try to potty every thirty minutes, hoping he would get annoyed and tell her he didn't need to be reminded when to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
