Okay this is my one and only my precious son who is two but who is so independent stubborn and determined to be him. The dilemma he's too grown for his own good. Opening the fridge front door running through the yard to granny's and feeding the dog are just a few examples of his many shenanigans. Well he's two and potty training for over 6 months started well and now we're climbing back up the mountain after a very murderous fall. It was going well but he was in daycare and they only want pullups. Then we moved back home to mom's and were commuting so the time and traveling threw all the progress back 500 yards or so. Then he became very adamant that he didn't want to do it. Now I'm SAHM and have been trying in vain to get him fully pottied in underwear only. Success 50/50 most days and 75/25 others. He just learned how to urinate standing he is so excited that he runs to the toilet just to stand up but he forgot how to BM through his excitement. So here we go again more time and patience to achieve Big Boy status by his 3rd bday in June. So send me BLESSINGS on this perilous journey of the Potty.
Woe is me...
interesting
its funny cause i was going to say "and this too shall pass" thats like my motto for everything dealing with children. I have three children 4,2 and 10 mths. and it seems like its not passing fast enough. my four year old son is doing great during the day but i have to wake him during the night and if i dont he pee's the bed. I am just not going to buy him any more pull ups. he has to learn . and i just have to keep washing the sheets. Why stress. yeah its bothersome but its life.
i am fighting with my daughter tho. she knows tooooo much and her mouth doesn't stop so why can't she get it together. i don't know but i beg that she gets it together by her third bday. that is my goal.

Terrific twos!!!, I had a "time" with my son who is twelve now, aptly nicknamed "Tink" because of the amount of bms he produced.
Just know that this too shall pass and you will look back fondly on all this. What helped me was slowing down and taking my time with him and not planning too much for one day and for long periods of time. It seemed that he could feel me being calm and he responded better to that. Also I tried the bare bottom way for a little while in which he had a little shirt on and nothing on the bottom. I put a few beach towels on the floor where he played and put the potty chair in the room.
I miss my Tinks genuine slobbery kisses at that age, cherish them.
Peace & Blessings
:-D
Oh yes the terrible 2's! I feel ya Sis LOL It will get better soon, as for the commute I had a listing of all clean public or paid toilets on any route we would travel when the boys where potty training. Putting on diapers or pull-ups is demoralizing for them somehow they think we took back their big boy status and want to make them little again.
Blessings, love & light,
