Outsourcing: potty training

Yes, India is known for outsourcing. When you call almost any 1-800 number, I suspect you hear an Indian accent. But we've turned the tables a bit...

Libby's mom, Kathy, has been potty training Shane for about 2 weeks. He is now consistently going "small potty" in the training toilet without any assistance. Yeah!! He just runs over, drops his drawers, and tinkles away. Then carries it into the bathroom and empties it. The next stop is the refrigerator where he picks up a gummy dinosaur (some friends sent a bag of candy from Singapore and this turned out to be the perfect reward). We probably should add another stop in there so he can wash his hands!

Of course, he is still working on going "big potty" ... and there have been a few messes along the way, but that is why I'm so glad we've outsouced. I didn't have to clean up! Anyway, thanks to mothers-in-law who have determination and endurance for such a task. I want to outsource some more things to USA-based people. Any volunteers?
