Potty...eh,hem...bedtime!

I am sitting here at 11:30 in the evening listening to Jared and Jakob count sheep and balls and birds in the bathroom while Jakob sits on the potty. Jakob volunteered himself to his 'throne' during a bedtime meltdown just now. No, this is not his normal bedtime. Yes, I know we are awful parents for allowing him to be up this late since we were with friends. No, I don't want confirmation on that. The point is...Jakob SO has us figured out! He knows that he can offer up time sitting on the potty to derail us from any situation. We are in big trouble...but it sure sounds sweet tonight!
