Potty Training

It is time to work on the potty with Tres. I know it is. I know we need to do naked time now, while the weather is still warm. But I honestly feel like a whiny little toddler...."I just don't wannnna!"

I know there will be messes. I know there will be frustration and I'm just not sure I'm up for it right now. Not while the weather is so nice out and the days still so long. Any advice, encouragement? If I don't get on it soon, he's going to be in diapers well past three, because as far as I'm concerned, there's just no potty training in Maine in the winter.

You can do it! Just don't plan on going anywhere for a week...the first day is the worst. If my little guy is naked, he gets to the potty close to 100% of the time now. If wearing anything, he is about 50/50. But he did say he had to go while in public and I removed a dry diaper and he went!

As long as you don't expect instant success...and by instant, I mean within a few weeks, you'll be pleased with what improvement you do see within a short time. We still have a ways to go, but he is partially self-motivated and that is what matters the most!
