So, I believe this is the beginning of many blogs to come on the saga of training my now 3 year old little guy! My hope in actually blogging about this is that one day, when Drew is completely potty trained, I will look back and laugh hysterically at how stressed I was about this! :) I really had a lot of high hopes for this...."oh, watching his cousin go potty will make him want to do it", "showering him with promises of rewards like M&Ms and race cars will do it", but alas, amid all of our trying, the child still exhibits ZERO signs of readiness for potty training!
Enter an article in this month's Parenting magazine entitled "Extreme Potty Training". I'm skeptical, but open it up to read it anyway. In a nut shell, it pretty much takes on potty training the way I have suspected I may have to with Drew. JUST DO IT! Lock yourself in the house for a couple of days, pump the child full of water, and usher him to the potty every 20-30 minutes. Sounds simple enough, but I know that trying it is going to be challenging on so many levels. So now, I must prepare myself for this venture...whenever it is I get brave enough to try it! =)
To be continued...
That's how I trained Collin, I just decided no more pull-ups and put him in underwear. I prayed lots about it and God was faithful! We FINALLY made it over the hump...it's been about a month now of pull-up free days! You can do it Rach! Pray, pray, pray and throw away the pull-ups! ;)
