The first week of potty training was great, both boys tried every time I asked them and Cullen even went several times! Once he even told me he needed to go, so I took off his diaper, and then he sat down and peed in the potty! I was literally jumping for joy!
Unfortunately, since the first week, progress has stalled. They aren't quite as excited about trying (especially since we ran out of M&M's after their Daddy ate a few too many) and sometimes they just refuse to try. I've heard this is perfectly normal and most of the other moms I've talked to about potty training said their kids did the exact same thing. They said within a few weeks (or months) the kids usually become interested again. So I'm just going to stick with it and keep asking them several times a day if they want to try. I don't make them but if they want to, then great. If the weather's nice, I'll let them wear their underwear around the backyard. They really love their Thomas underwear so hopefully this will be an incentive to stay dry and tell me if they need to go.
Here we go on week 3! Wish me luck- I'm going to need it!
