Mommy vs Logan vs Potty

ah potty training - what a joy it is. When I was training Brayden, I did everything the books tell you to do, the bribery method, the naked method, the consequence method, the take them to the potty every 15 minutes method, so on and so on, it is enough to stress any mother out and it did. I was so stressed with Brayden that after two weeks I just said forget it, he will go when he is ready. And you know what he did.

And now it is Logan's turn - he just turned three in December and we have been working on him for a couple of months. At school he does great because every hour they take him into the restroom and have him go, and they put a stamp on his belly which he thinks is so cool. But when we are at home, he gets busy playing, and I get busy making dinner or doing laundry or cleaning to remember to take him in there every hour on the hour. Sure if I was able to stay home with him all day, I would be able to take him in there every hour on the hour, but that just isn't the case. He was doing well for a while, going on the big potty that we even sold his little potty that we had when Brayden was little. And now just last week he gave everyone this sad little story that he couldn't go potty at home because he didn't have a little potty and he all of a sudden was afraid of the big potty. Well, he received a little potty and yet we are back to being lazy.

He does wear his big boy pull ups and he loves them because they have Buzz and Woody on them, and most days he does well, but it is just learning and having him do ALL of his business on the potty that would make my life so much easier :) But I know when he is ready he will do it - all of the time.

So right now mommy is losing this battle but I give up on stressing about it - Logan will do it on his own time, no need to stress us both out LOL.
