An Eagles View: Potty Talk

Potty training talk, that is. Please feel free to skip.....

I hate to be too optimistic but it appears my youngest has managed to potty train himself. Can I really be this lucky? After many {read: lots and lots and lots} of struggles potty training my Mo-Tay, this is all too good to be true.

Mr. Mr. Gettie has showed little to no interest in the whole thing. I've tried every form of incentive. Nothing phases the kid. Nothing. Despite the fact that we knew he was capable. When it suited him, he would follow his {potty trained} brothers lead. At one point, he told me that it was easier for me to change his diaper than for him to stop what he was doing. Ugh!

Without warning, he took on the task of being potty trained. So far we've gone almost three days. Three days, 1 {kind of} accident, and nothing but dry times.

My diaper changing days could be over. Please, let it be true!

What I'm Doing Here...

I blog for so many reasons. This started as your typical 'Mommy Blog' but quickly evolved into so much more. I blog to stay sane, document our days and to express myself.

I like to claim this as my little corner of the blogosphere. A safe place for me to share my story, my boys and their crazy antics, our adventures as a family and the odd occurrences of our household.

I'm grateful for all of you that support my ramblings -on a daily basis- and welcome those of you visiting for the first time. Its my hope that you come and sit a while; that we may have a chance to get to know each other.

Randi Troxell , 24 May, 2010 09:08: hope it lasts for your sake..

but the fact that he told you it was just easier for you to change his diaper than for him to take care of business just sent me waaa-aaay over the edge... lol!!!!!
Me (aka Danielle) , 24 May, 2010 12:33: He is definitely my patience tester...day in and day out.
Liz Mays , 24 May, 2010 13:07: I really think that kids will just do it when they're ready. This is fantastic!!!!
Leslie , 24 May, 2010 20:35: My sister decided that she wasn't going to stress over her youngest (twins) being potty trained. And sure enough, when they were ready to wear big boy underwear they did! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
