I am dealing with potty training my second, and youngest, child. He will be 3 in two months--HELLO!! 2 1/2 weeks in and the whole number 1 thing is going great; except when we are outside playing which was the case yesterday. The first time he just couldn't give up whatever fantasy adventure he was playing to go inside and relieve himself. I explained that due to the fact we live on a whole acre in a tiny town it would be okay if he dropped his drawers and watered a tree. COOL! Unfortunately I forgot to let him know that just because he wasn't going to aim at the square of TP floating in the porcelain bowl he still had to aim the tally wacker. Yep, filled his drawers and was repulsed. WTF--mom, I dropped my drawers just like you said and I STILL got wet (I forget how important direct, complete instructions are).
This morning he let me know that he needed to do number 2, so we put the mini seat on the big seat, propped him with his stool and let him do his business. A couple of minutes later out he comes and lets me know that nope couldn't do it. Whatever, go play. 20 minutes later up the hall he comes letting me know he needs to be changed (I guess forgetting we ditched the diapers and changing TransFormer undies just isn't as easy). Full load. It took everything I had not to lose my breakfast--I gagged the entire clean up time.
Oh well, I will continue on with my drill master like potty training techniques and by the way: I say BS to the books that say "don't attempt until the child is ready to ditch the diapers" I don't have the stomach for a 15 year old's turd.

Hey! My husband just told me that you've been blogging, and i just got caught up.
I've been a total blog slacker for the past, geeze, year I think, but maybe you'll inspire me to get my shit together.
Now that Soph is wiping her own ass, I don't think I can possibly have any more kids. I just can't go back.
XO
