An anecdote

We've been pretty busy around here getting ready for Christmas and I apologize for not having any pictures.   I need to remember to have Eric upload them to the computer tonight.  But for now I have a story I want to save for posterity.  William is in the final stages of potty training.  A few weeks ago I decided to start letting him wear underwear around the house.  This, of course, has meant I've cleaned up several accidents.  However,  we've hit upon a strategy that never worked for Dom, but seems to be just what William needs.  We set the kitchen timer for 45 minutes or an hour and have him go to the restroom when it beeps.  He is quite obedient about it and it has lead to several accident free days.  Though it might be working a little too well.  This morning when the timer beeped for Eric's coffee, William came into the bathroom and informed me that he had to use the toilet because the timer went off.  Did Pavlov have kids?
