POTTY PROGRESS-DAY 3

So far, so good.  I give him all the liquid he will drink, and take him to the bathroom every 2o min.  The first 2 days the biggest struggle was getting him to actually sit there long enough to go. We discovered he'll stay put for a lot longer if we let him brush his teeth while he sits.  Whatever works, I guess.  Day 3 has been a good day.  The first 2 days I wasn't convinced he was getting it, or that he actually had the capability to do it.  He hadn't gone in about 3 hours- so I put him in the tub, and 30 seconds later he went.  (on the potty)  Now I KNOW he can do it.  He can stop himself mid stream (lovely, I know... no body's making you read this)  So I know he's getting the muscle memory.  I am still taking him really regularly.  We have yet to have him run back to go by himself.  But, so far, I'm pleased.  I didn't clean up a single accident today.  Good... right?
