more potty progress

Things had been moving nicely with Kenny's potty training. And then he back-slid.
He sat on the potty, announced that he didn't need to use it, and got up. As I was putting the thing back in its place, he peed on the carpet in the hallway behind me. Sigh.
But that was Tuesday, and since then things have gone quite well. Guaging the timing correctly seems to be the key. In addition to the pre-bathtime potty visit, I now give him a while after getting out of bed in the morning, then take him in. This seems to work fairly well. There's also a visit after he gets hom from daycare, but I'm not sure it's necessary.
