Goodbye, Size 5 Diapers!!

Yes, it's true! He's finally potty-trained! Accident-free for 2 days now! I'm so excited! It was exhausting, but it looks like he's finally got it. Poop and pee are now being deposited in the bright green frog potty instead of my son's pants (which is, from what I've heard, a major accomplishment)! As of Friday afternoon, we were kissing diapers goodbye, regardless of accidents, they were not in the picture. So, after cleaning up a couple of messes, I baracaded my son into the kitchen since it's easier to wipe pee off linoleum (sp?) than carpet. He did amazingly well. So, I decided to take the baby gates down and let him watch Thomas the Tank Engine (he loves this show, plus each little story is only about 4 minutes long, so lots of chances to go potty). While standing in the living room watching the show, sipping on his juice, I ask him, "Is it time to go potty? You've had a lot of juice...it's probably ready to come out now."
"No pee," he replies. So I think to myself, "Okay. I'm not going to make him go sit on the potty if he doesn't have to go. The whole idea is for him to realize the feeling of having to go to the bathroom, and doing it." Not 30 seconds later, while still staring at the television, he pees on the living room floor. Aaaaaaagh! I was furious! I turned off the t.v., dragged him into the kitchen, popped him on the butt (for lying about not having to pee...don't judge me...I'm not pro-spanking, but sometimes [with my kid at least] it's the only way to get his attention!), and made him sit on the potty for 5 minutes. Then, after his five minutes were up, he had to take his wet shorts and underwear to the laundry, clean up the mess he made on the carpet, and practice running to the potty from every room of the house. From that point on, he was accident free, and has been going potty without being prompted or reminded! Hooray! Now...is 7-months too young to start the other one? I kid, I kid...
