Dear Potty Training Fairies......

****UPDATE: While finishing up the text for the pictures, Caydin told me he had to poop and started grabbing himself.  I asked him if he had to go potty and he said yes but by the time we got there, his underwear was alittle wet and he only had about 2 drips left for the potty.  We of course praised him and not even 1 minute later, he was saying he had to go again. SUCCESS! Caydin had no clue what was going on or why we were so excited for him.  All he knew was that he was getting a toy because he finally used the potty!  He then told me he had to go and used the potty 2 times after that.  So proud of him!  

He had one more accident before taking a bath.  Hoping tomorrow is even more successful than today! ****

Please grant me the patience to get this kid potty trained!!!!!
He seems like he is going to be the kind of kid of potty trains late, though I've read that the average age for boys to potty train fully is 3.5 years.  So, maybe, there is some hope left for us. 
We started yesterday morning with underwear and sitting on the potty and Caydin is doing great with it (big success since a few months ago, he refused to even go near the bathroom without a diaper on). 
We've tried every kind of bribery you can think of but so far, nothing is great enough for him to actually GO on the potty. 
Yesterday {day 1} we washed 8 pairs of underwear and didn't have any luck on the potty.
Today {day 2} we will probably wash just as many pairs and so far have only had a few drips in the potty.
Pretty frustrating I think.  I decided not to do any diapers during naptime and he didn't have an accident yesterday or today while sleeping. 
More updates, hopefully better updates soon!

Caydin has a thing for tennis shoes and socks.  So much so that he thinks its funny to wear socks on his hands.
 Also, Caydin discovered the paint program on the computer. LOVES it. (But not enough to take a picture with his artwork!)
