I didn't plan on trying to potty train Creed today, but I mentioned to him that M&M's would be involved when he did go potty. Creed took it upon himself to try to go today. He started on the big potty in the bathroom, but when the rest of us wanted to go outside, he opted for this makeshift bucket with a potty topper.
Creed on the potty: 3:24 P.M.
Creed going strong; reading a book to pass the time: 3:45 P.M.
A little snack of grapes should pass the time: 3:56 P.M.
Brother West, like the trainer in the boxing ring, gives Creed a little pep talk and tries to expedite the situation: 4:14 P.M.
The sun has shifted and Creed needs a little shade: 4:28 P.M.
Creed getting a little discouraged: 4:34 P.M.
Call it: 1 hour and 13 minutes Creed sat on the potty. Without getting up. Now that is what you call ring around the bottom.
Lose the potty. Maybe going on the grass will motivate.
The cry of defeat. No potty today. Back in diapers and really mad about it. :)

Oh my goodness! That is so funny and so sad at the same time.
Hilarious! Thanks for sharing.
That is great! I thought Caleb's 30 minutes was a record=-)
Such a great post.
Hang in there Creed! You can do it. Way to have some strong determination.
Too funny! Love the play by play shots!!
This is hysterical. I am laughing out loud!!!

That was hilarious and heart breaking. He was so devoted. I hate it when good things don't come easy - especially with such dedication involved. Please keep us posted when he breaks through to the other side. I don't think I can stand the heartbreak of that last picture for too long!
Those pictures are precious! and what a great big bro West is!! :o) Good luck Creed...you can do it!
Any more interest from Creed with the potty?
