Creative Problem Solving

Andy started peeing in the potty today....but with a little "outside" motivation. No, not that we actually went outside (I'd have to slather him in sunscreen at the moment to run around naked). After discussing with Jim last night, the issue that Andy can sit on the potty or run around naked without peeing and then pee immediately after putting on underwear or pull-ups, we decided to try "helping" him a little. So today we tried it...and it worked!
What, you might ask, did we try? Well...a little warm water poured over crucial parts has done the trick all day. He did manage to stop and start the stream on his own at least once today so now we just have to work on him doing it without the help of the water. I don't want him to get addicted to pouring water on his private parts and I'm not quite sure what we will do if we are out somewhere because cold water doesn't appear to work....
