Training

I realize that I haven't really taken many pictures lately. Shame on me! But, here's a cute one of Will chillin' in his pjs. I decided (notice I didn't say Matt decided...) that this week we would begin potty training again. Seriously, it's time. I'm willing to do whatever it takes, including crazy bribes to get Matt to ditch the diapers already and sit on the potty. We began yesterday. After Matt woke up I told him it was the big day and he totally balked. I'd been preparing him for it for weeks now; telling him that once preschool was over we were going to start practicing on the potty again. The tears came almost immediately, and I could tell it was going to be a long, miserable day. He whined & cried for a diaper for probably an hour. He even brought me a diaper. I couldn't even get him to go in the bathroom much less sit on the potty. I talked him through it I don't know how many times but he still wasn't going along with it. Finally, close to lunchtime I saw him wiggling around and I knew he needed to go. He got on the potty, and let me tell you it was a success! I don't think I've ever praised him so much. He was glowing with pride. He went again that afternoon after his nap. Hooray! He was so excited he wanted to do it again. I'm encouraged by the success so far, but we still have a long way to go. He is a stubborn boy. I'll keep you posted. In the mean time, pray for me.
