Potty Training Sucks.
Today was the first real day that I did it. I have put his big boy undies on two other times but only for like an hour each.
I thought he kind of got the concept of the toilet... but after today, I'm not so sure. He doesn't like it one bit. And he never actually made it on the pot for anything other than sitting there. Luckily it was nice outside so most of the accidents occurred where clean up wasn't necessary. We will see if he catches on after a few days. The treats don't seem too be all that alluring, so maybe I can come up with something else.
I have to note that the picture below is not staged. He was sitting on the toilet and out of the blue he demanded a few books (while pointing to the magazine basket). A good read never hurt anyone I suppose...
This picture is really unrelated to potty training but it was just part of the day. About one second after this picture was taken quin was a human sandwich between the shelf and the couch. She could see that one coming, check out the death grip on the newspaper basket. Just minding her own climbing business when Carson decides to join the fun...
This was us at the end of the day:

Isn't motherhood great?! :)
I forgot to mention that there is a cougar loose in our neighborhood. He has been spotted a few times now and I'm freaked to go out on walks or play at the park. This is not the first time this has happened either...
That's pretty much the reason I started the potty training today. No time to go anywhere before naps, and too afraid to face the great outdoors (besides our backyard). But maybe the cougar wouldn't have been so bad after all..

I had to laugh at that last picture LOL! Potty training does sound very difficult but the reward must be totally worth it :)
that last picture had me laughing out loud. I can't wait for potty training. NOT.
Cougar loose in the neighborhood?

I HATE POTTY TRAINING!!!!!! Bryon did most of our kids. Thank goodness. Isn't being a mother fun? Luv ya, Tracie
Er, you're the best. "let me at 'em" - you crack me up.
Too funny! Btw, I love that handwritten font. What's it called?
Maybe the cougar should be your next potty training strategy. "Carson, go pee pee in the potty or I'll let the cougar get you." A ferocious animal, or a licentious 50 year old woman, both are frightening enough you might get some toilet training action happening.
