Seeing a man about a horse

As great as it is not to change diapers, there is something wonderful about not dealing with accidents, no need to hurry and find a bathroom, or change a bed in the middle of the night. I have been putting off potty training because a) I have heard that boys are harder b) it is winter, it's cold running around in underwear all day c) I get depressed during the winter if I can't leave my house... and we all know that you can't just leave when you are potty training d) I hate potty training. It stretches the patience just about as far as it can go. I am not a super patient person.

While he has gone in the potty periodically for several months, he started showing a lot of interest this last week. Now he has started wanting to get rid of diapers. My sister texted me, while watching my kids this Sat. "Your son keeps begging me to put panties on him!" Sigh. I guess I better just suck it up and do it. You gotta take advantage of the moment. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Mucha luck your way--I DETEST potty training too. It's the only parental duty that I truly, truly hate. I'd rather get up in the night with a fussy baby...

Yeah!!! It is great. Once Hayden decided he was ready he did remarkably well. He was a lot better than Svanna and it is a lot easier to not have to put diapers on them anymore. Good Luck hopefully he will do it really fast.
