Potty Training 201...


...because Gator was Potty Training 101. We begin tomorrow morning. We are armed with a potty chair, Pull-ups, extra clothes, and lots of M&Ms.

See, with Gator, I was highly motivated to get him potty trained. At the time I was expecting Bull and I did not want to have two kiddos in diapers if I could help it. Since I'm not expecting right now, I am not quite as motivated on that front. However, considering that Bull has started trying to change his own diaper, I think it's time to use the "big boy potty."

Of course, I waited for Hubs to come home (which he did today!) because I didn't want him to miss any of this! Actually, I think I'm really gonna' need his help with this one. Gator was so eager to please that potty training came easily for him. Bull enjoys pleasing when it is his idea. Hmmm. I love my kids' differences. They keep me on my toes!

Any prayers that you would like to offer on our behalf would be greatly appreciated!

Good Luck Chrisie! Jacob was 100% potty trained before the age of 2, and I fear Joshua will never be - and he just turned 3! I tried and tried, and after he has peed on all the furniture, I have went back to the diapers. I don't seem to have the motivation I once did. He just doesn't seem to get it yet. If he's naked, he will pee in the potty (most of the time), if he is in underwear - he will pee in them almost instantly! He sees no difference in the underwear or the diaper as far as I can tell. Better luck on your front!
