I’ve written a lot about the difficulties we’ve had with Thing 1 and potty training.? I guess it’s to be expected since he’s our first one and we learn as we go.? It’s what experts call the “guinea pig syndrome”.
We have tried very hard not to push Thing 2 to use the potty until he is ready.? He actually started going potty some time ago.? At preschool, he goes all the time, and his diaper is rarely wet.? At home, he almost always refuses to go.? But we don’t push him.
Now, his teacher is saying he is ready.? We’ve thought so, too, for a while now, but were reluctant.? So we’ve decided this weekend will be the big switch over.? We’ll get out the big boy underwear and make a big deal.
The way I see it, this can go one of two ways.? Either he embraces the potty and never looks back (I’ve heard legends of this happening), or we crash and burn, and we’re in for a rough weekend.? If that’s the case, at least I’ll have plenty of entertaining blog material for Monday.
Wish me luck.
well, look on the bright side. he’ll be trained before kindy at least :)
