He got to pick a surprise from the surprise bucket each time he aced it. The "tooty pop" was by far his favorite. Although, I did let him watch the pod race from Star Wars at the end of the day and I am pretty sure that trumped all.

Mama need her a glass o' wine after today.
Today Easton threw his diapers in the garbage. We bagged them all up this morning and with teary-eyes, walked them out to the trash can. Before we went out side, in an ever-so-sweet little boy voice he kissed his diapers and said, "I love you." Let's just say this...potty training a boy (at least my boy) is WAY different than potty training a girl. Check out how he spent the majority of his potty time.

Want Ad
WANTED: Patient adult willing to potty train a strong-willed child that loves his diapers.
It was a battle of wills at our house the other morning. Easton woke up with a dry diaper. Therefore, I knew he would have to pee soon. I insisted he pee on the potty and he insisted I give him a diaper to pee in. Um, no. He fought it the entire time screaming and trying to jump off the potty while I held him on there. It was ugly. He finally made it happen but not without a huge struggle and a pee extravaganza all over the bathroom floor. Technically some did go in the potty so I counted it as a success and did the whole dance around and give him a sucker thing.
Had this incident been filmed, I am sure I would be featured on Super Nanny as the “What not to do when potty training” example. I think it may have set us back a few years.
Any advice? Insight? Interest in being paid to potty train my child?

Arizona 2011
Apparently I am that person that invites you over to look at ALL of my vacation photos and thinks you're actually interested in every detail of our trip. We had a fantastic time in Arizona! Hot sun, great company, lots of swimming, pinas and Coronas, happy kids, relaxation and plenty of laughs. Jump in to my time machine and join me in the 90 degree Scottsdale paradise of last week!
