adventures in potty training - damnyoupeepee.

right now as i write this post one handed there may or may not be:

pee on the floor
dirty bottles on the table
a wet diaper next to me on the couch
a three year old in time-out
an 8 week old passed out in my arms

oh, the glamorous life i lead....

it all starts innocently enough...  so we're attempting to potty train the boy which is absolutely an adventure.  i can't tell you how often i'll turn around and see him watching pee evacuate from his little body all over the floor MINUTES after i've watched him pee in the potty.  today was especially exciting when i dragged him in the bathroom to "try" and realized his big boy undies were already wet.

"where's the pee pee, jack?"

blank stare.

so i start searching the house for evidence and quickly come across a gigantic puddle next to the train table.

"ta-da!"

are you serious, little boy?  he's so happy for me that i've found the "prize" in this f*&#@$ up treasure hunt.  so i put a smile on my face and grab the lysol.

"next time he pee pee goes in the potty, right baby?"






right?! through gritted teeth....

The only thing that worked for Ethan w/ potty training was wearing no underwear. He peed in his pants like that one time and seriously lost his mind. He was older than your son when it finally clicked for him - I thought for sure he would be in Kinder in diapers. I also bribed him with hot wheels. BTW he is terrified of automatic flush toilets in public restrooms so I STILL have to cover his ears when he goes in public. It's kinda ridiculous.
