Caitlin, thanks for such a terrific response. I absolutely agree it will need to be slow and steady, as long as it is steady I am happy! I have been thinking about introducing a night time bath as well. I do think I need to talk to my husband about my leaving the table while he is eating. He won't care a bit but I have serious issues about leaving the table while people are still eating. I don't force the children to stay though.

The role playing idea is a great one.
