Bummer...

I've decided to wait on the potty training with Aiden. It will still be available if he wants to try, but I'm not going to push it. Chris and I talked and I think we are going to wait until we move to try again, that way he'll be a little older and Chris will be home to help me. I think it might have been too much to try it right now with everything else that I have to do right now! And hopefully if we wait until he's almost 3, it will go quickly!

Day Three

Well, yesterday he only allowed me to put him on the potty one time, and he didn't go. As much as I was looking forward to him being out of diapers, I just don't think he's ready for this yet. Even when he does go, he'll go again in his pants 5 minutes later, I don't think he understands the concept of going completely on the potty. He's like a dog, a little here, a little there...it's very frustrating to have him go on the potty and still wet himself 5 minutes later! It was like that all day the first day, and now he wants nothing to do with it. So I guess we wait.... :-(

Morning Day Two

Okay, I put Aiden on the potty first thing this morning, or should I say, I tried to put him on the potty. He refused to have anything to do with it, and my attempts were met with kicking and screaming. So I backed off and I'm going to keep asking him today, but I'm starting to think that he may not be ready for this whole potty training thing yet. It shouldn't be a big fight, right? If he was ready he would want to do this. So we'll keep trying for a day or two, but if he doesn't start getting more excited or if he keeps fighting me like this I am going to stop and try again in a couple of weeks.

Day One

Day one isn't over yet, but we are making progress! We have had 5 successful potty attempts, several unsuccessful and about 5 zillion accidents. I think this kid pees every 10 minutes. I am on my third load of wash right now, good thing I bought lots of underwear! But really, I think we might go back to the Pull-ups for a few days, until he gets the hang of telling me when he has to go. Because, to be honest, the wet underwear isn't really phasing him that much, and I'm tired of changing him every 10 minutes. If it were making him more aware of when he was wet, I would keep him in them, but I don't think they are doing anything except making more work for me. So we will continue for the next few days with the Pull-ups, see if he continues to make progress.

But YAY for Aiden, he's on his way to being a big boy!!

And So It Begins - Potty Training

Aiden's potty training will officially commence in the morning. I guess that means that I have to actually get up with him first thing in the morning, huh? Usually he wakes up around 7 and I lay in bed and doze until 8. He just plays in his room, perfectly content, so I figure why get up if I don't have to? But if I want to catch him before he goes, I guess I'd better get my butt out of bed....Chris so owes me for this, he's supposed to be potty training the boys....
