Potty Camp II

So we had real potty camp last weekend. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, except for the pooping. Or rather, lack thereof. I thought we were going to have a serious issue, but we seem to be getting somewhat of a balance. He's pooped in the potty 3 times, pooped in a diaper a couple of times, and pooped in his pants once. So long as he's pooping, I don't really care. Says the lady who wasn't home to have to clean up the poop in the underpants.
I do have to admit, 3 hours into the first day, I said to Andy, "I don't think he's responding real well. Maybe he isn't ready." To which Andy replied, "We've only been doing this for THREE HOURS. This isn't going to be easy." So we didn't quit, and Andy was right. Andy, incidentally, is the only one who has gotten BB to poop in the potty.
He is doing really well with the pee pee. He makes it to the potty most of the time, and his accidents usually happen at home while he is playing. So now here is my new issue with potty training.
You can't plan enough time to get somewhere because you have no idea how many times you will have to stop along the way to use the potty. Today we used the potty at home AND at Food Lion, at the restaurant, at the doctor (3 times), at home again AND at Dunkin Donuts, at the museum a few times, and finally we were home for good. While I know we will save good money on diapers, I think of all the extra time that we will need in exchange.
