Potty training...

O.k., so I was going to start potty training when Kirkland turned 2, but I was so sick with "morning sickness" that I just couldn't handle it. Plus, Kirkland is a sympathetic puker, so he was too busy throwing up right there beside me.

So, I was going to try it again when I got to feeling better, but then Charlie came, and so I didn't really have time to potty train since it was also the middle of Geoff's season. I remember one night before bathtime, I heard him laughing in Charlie's room. I asked, "What's so funny?" He giggled & said, "I tee tee on the carpet!"

So, over Thanksgiving we tried to start again, but Kirkland got WAY sick for like 4 weeks, so I gave it up.

So, a few weeks ago, we tried again. I had bought a whole box full of treats & prizes for everytime he would go in the potty. So, he wakes up, and is all excited about his lightning mcqueen big boy underwear. However, the first time he washed his hands after he goes, he falls off the stool into the bathroom door, cuts his leg & bangs his head. All of this gets him so upset, that he starts to vomit. Needless to say, we were done for the day.

So, he's 3 years old, and he knows good and well "how" to go to the potty. He's done it plenty of times. What we are lacking here is consistency. Last night, he took his diaper off & peed in my foyer. What is that?!? He knows that if he goes in the potty, he will get a prize, but he just doesn't care. But every time I go, he brings me a piece of chocolate. He could not be less interested in the potty.

He starts preschool in August, where you have to be completely potty trained. I'm hoping we make it!
