Freedom!!!
Tina's Blog May 8th, 2006What a crazy week. I have been busy working on some project's for James' office. I had the final/big one due today. And I started it Friday. I am very happy to say that I'm done. We weren't the wisest to start potty training during this time, but the window of interest (on Will's part) was open. The next two weekends are crazier and then we're going on vacation. I honestly had hoped to wait until AFTER vacation. But, back to that “window of interest” being open…we knew to take advantage of it when we could. He was interested last summer but our attempts failed, and then he was ANTI-potty for a long time. So, as you read in James' post, we started. We were wise to start on a weekend this time. Last time, doing it solo almost drove me crazy. Last night, we tried to focus on the positives.
-
He now goes to the bathroom every 15 minutes (and we're pushing 20), not every five.
-
When he does have an accident, he “holds it” until we get to the bathroom, instead of just letting it all out at the time.
-
When we put him on the potty, he usually goes–instead of not going, and then peeing a minute after he gets off (what happened last time).
So, it's a start. We're still working on it. Today is my first day solo. Any prayers would be appreciated! 
While we both like the idea of Will having the freedom from diapers, I don't like how we are forced to stay home and be near the potty right now. I wanted to have one of those potty training experiences where we just started, and he could do it in one day! (I can dream!)
