What Was I Thinking?

Let me start by saying: I hate potty training.
Mostly, because I stink at it. (hee hee)
I will avoid it at all costs.
Usually.



Unless..



Turkey and I take a trip to Wal-Mart.
While I am on cold medicine.
And end up in the potty aisle.





How many pottys do you have in your attic? one might ask.
This is hardly the point.




He thought this game was great!




I decided to up the ante.
This was no game for mere sticker rewards.
We're playing for fruit snacks.




Oh yeah, baby!







Sugar decided that what goes in, must come out and endeavored to fill up the tank.






This is serious business.



Waiting...
waiting ...
waiting...





I wonder if anything will happen...

still waiting.....





and waiting...






until...










SUCCESS!




Is it too late to stop this ride and get off?
I am SO not ready for this!
What was I thinking??






PS. Someone asked why I do not photoshop the goo off his face. Answer: You'd have to know him. :)
Pin It!

We have that same potty in pink! Bella loves it and looks forward to using it, so I think you may be on a fast ride to big boy underwear. Does it make royal (guess it wouldn't princess) chimes for him?

Holly said...

We have the same potty...my son never used it, but my daughter is infatuated with it. I despise potty training and probably the only reason my daughter isn't yet is that I just do not want to! he will so hate this post one day!

Faithful Mali said...

Oh, I really dislike potty training, too. And then next worse is once they are potty trained, mom somehow takes on CBW (chief butt wiper) in her list of credentials.

Congrats on the potty success, though.

Miss Angie said...

LOL! Good luck with that!

Tia said...

I have the same potty-love it! My son just likes to hang out on it though, we have yet to see any real potty action.
Good luck!

I'd give anything to have had kids... well, except for this part.

By the way, he my just stangle you when he grows up and see these picture on the web... chuckle-chuckle....

Dawn said...

I'm right with you on the potty training-my least favorite thing!! Good Luck with it-hope it goes well and isn't too difficult!!

Shell said...

I hate potty training. One more round of it to go here. Not looking forward to it.

I love the "success!" picture... although, I do think he's going to be mad at you when he's older and figures out there's a montage of potty pictures of him somewhere on the internet...

My daughter peed on the floor again last night. So much for potty training at such an early age!

I got a long way to go for potty training.

LMAO, This is too cute. I'm trying with my 20 month old, but he always tells me after he's going potty in his diaper.

Mama to 3 Blessings said...

I am with you mama - I am potty training my toddler too! My problem is that he has to use the potty every 5 minutes - he is good at it but with a 9 month old baby that nurses - it seems like he wants to go potty while she's nursing! I shouldn't complain really because he is really good at using the potty. Anyways, cute blog - signed up to be your Friday Follower! Please stop over & visit my blog! :)

i absolutely dislike potty training as well!! i never started til my girls were after three years old. and it'll probably be the same thing for the rest of the kiddos. who cares, right? as long as they're 16 and not in diapers i think it's fine!! yay for success!! praying it keeps on going!!

Tina said...

I'm learning how much I dislike potty training as well. My little girl goes in spurts, she wants to and then doesn't....very frustrating. Oh, and I'm so with you on not photoshopping the gook off of their faces. I think every picture my oldest daughter has taken has some kind of gook on her face!
