Potty Training...

Yes...we are trying to potty train Mr. Big Boy Case!!

Most days Case resists the idea of training by telling me that he will "go tomorrow" or the "I not need to go right now" excuse!! I try several times a day, some times we have success, other times we just have "crying fits" and meltdowns!! Of course there are the occasional accidents that comes with the territory!!

He will turn the BIG THREE in about a month...and I was one of those parents that said we would be diaper free by THREE, but I am not sure my plan will work out just like I dreamed it would...and that is okay! I keep hearing the stories that he will not go to kindergarten in DIAPERS!! I have read articles on the readiness signs, how to reward him...not to criticize his actions but just reinforce his good behaviors...get a "cute" potty chair (not sure that would appeal to him)...but maybe if was in the shape of a Tractor...now that might work!!

The frustrating thing for me is that Case is a very intelligent child...so I know that he understands the concept...I just think he is not ready...or maybe I am not ready... It is a big step into boyhood...and it is hard to imagine that our sweet lil baby turned toddler is on the verge of BOYHOOD.

Really, where does the time go?
