potty training....

Potty Training Diaries.
We were off to a rocky start. I have to admit there are times that i think changing a diaper forever seems much easier than going through the potty training fiasco. Wyatt has had his shares of accidents and misses but all in all he is doing fantastic! I am so proud of him. I've tried it all from bribing, dancing, buying toys, pulling my hair out, going border line psycho and for the most I've determined that Wyatt had to be ready. It wasn't me or what i was going to buy him that was going to the trick, it was Wyatt (although buying things helped in the process!). He wasn't going to make any progress until he knew he could do it and I needed to be patient.

The other day I lost it. I think being hormonal has made potty training much harder. Well, it's made everything much harder. Anyways... I lost it and that made me sad. I felt like the worst mom ever. I apologized to Wyatt and told him that he was being such a big boy and I was noticing all of his efforts with the potty training, and we all make mistakes-especially while potty training. He accepted my apology and after that has been awesome! This week has been a pretty exceptional potty training experience. Wyatt tells me a lot of the time when he needs to potty, which helps since I can't remember to ask hardly! 
I told you, I'm awful at everything lately.
I'm so proud of Wy-Wy.
It's about progress NOT perfection.

losing my mind.

I feel like the worst mom ever today.
This whole potty training business is slowly, little by little taking every last bit of sanity I have left.
Wyatt is a smart boy and he knows exactly what to do.
I feel like he definitely is taking advantage of my frustration today.
He is successful at peeing in the potty but the #2 is what is KILLING me!!!
Yesterday morning he went all over the house, running from room to room leaving a trail of hideous horrible poop, everywhere but the bathroom. Today was more successful! He woke up and used the big boy potty 2 times. We went to swim lessons and then we went somewhere for lunch that has an outdoor play ground, I caught him right before he pooped in the slide. OH. MY. GOD.
We were the only ones out side (thank God). OK STUPID IDIOT ME... Didn't bring wipes, diaper, shorts, an extra change of undies... NOTHING. I swear I am losing my mind.

POTTY TRAINING SUCKS.

He does look super cute in his undies though... :)
 Lesson for the day week...
FYI
I am busting out the sewing machine today! I'm going to make some stuff... Don't know what yet but I'm going to make it, whatever it is!
