Operation Potty Training

Today was the first Saturday of the new year, so it was also the first day of our effort to potty train Caleb. It has been a long day. Even Geoffrey was a casualty of the operation and had to be washed along with other casualties. In all, Caleb has been through nine pairs of big boy underwear. On the positive side, he has earned many m&m's throughout the day. He is rewarded with one for sitting on the potty and three for peeing in the potty. Lee has been a great big help today and I am very thankful for his help!!!

The bad news is that this process is not going well. Lee and I are going to give it one more day. If we do not see progress by tomorrow evening, we are going to stop and wait until he is 3 1/2 years old.

Hang in there. He will get the hang of it. We have been at it for 6 long months now and it gets better. Just be patient, and be prepared to do alot of laundry.

I feel your pain. Erica's been through 6 pairs of "Big Girl" undies today, too. She keeps ripping the M&Ms out of my hand, so we're working on that.
