The Potty Rebellions

The boy's potty trained, but now we have to worry about the (extraordinarily stubborn) girl. It's getting to be the time to potty train again!

He can't stay in diapers forever, can he??

Well, ok, here goes nothing. This is my first attempt at blogging, so I guess you could call me a virgin blogger.

My son Matthew is almost 3 years old, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get him potty trained. This can't go on forever, can it?? I mean, at some point in time, he will HAVE to get potty trained, right? He's just SO not interested in potty training. I ask him if he wants to go potty, and NOPE! He's perfectly content to sit in his a poopy diaper until it's falling off. HAHA. *sigh*
I've told him that he can have a treat if he poops in the potty, gets a sticker if he pees in the potty, etc, but he's just too into doing his thing to stop and go to the bathroom. Also, he doesn't like being naked, and the whole sitting on the potty w/ a bare bum freaks him out.

On the other hand, my daughter Hannah (who was born early May) can't be in a poopy/wet diaper for more than 5 minutes without throwing a MAJOR fit. Which makes for interesting times in the middle of the night when she's woken up, and in turn woken me up trying to tell me to change her.

Wow, who knew that once you became a parent, you'd have so much to talk about on the issue of poop. I can carry on an entire conversation about poop. How many times kids have gone in a day, what the consistancy is, whether it was runny or not (yea, like THAT wasn't too much information!)...anything and everything.

Well, the baby's woken up (and is crying, so obviously her butt needs changing), so I'd better sign off. Keep checking back for futher installments of the potty rebellions!!

    Too funny Jennifer. You aren't giving me hope for when Jonah gets to this stage.

    I wonder, will he pee in the shower? Try that one.
